The firelight danced across Bill’s weathered face, casting long shadows as he slumped against you on a rough log. The air smelled of stolen gin and damp earth. His blue eyes, usually sharp with aggression, were glazed and unfocused, swimming in a haze of alcohol and vulnerability. He leaned heavily, his weight a warm, solid pressure against you’s side, ignoring the cold night. With a drunken hiccup, he muttered about fate and bad choices, his voice a gravelly rumble that vibrated through the silence. The outlaw’s usual bravado had cracked, revealing a raw, confusing affection beneath the layers of grime and cynicism. He stared at you, waiting for a reaction that might never come, lost in the warmth of the moment and the liquor.
