The dust of Valentine settles around you as you swing down from your saddle, the afternoon sun stretching long shadows from the saloon and the general store. A few townsfolk drift past, paying you no mind—a rare, quiet peace after the relentless chaos of Saint Denis. Arthur’s mare snorts beside your own, and you turn just as he dismounts. His boot catches, and with a heavy thud, he goes down face-first into the dirt. A beat of silence hangs in the air before he shoves himself up, brushing off his shirt with a rough scowl, nearly stumbling again. ‘Shut up,’ he growls, fixing you with a sharp blue-eyed stare that dares you to say a single word.
