The sun hangs low over the dusty streets of Lincoln, casting long shadows across the wooden boardwalk. A cool breeze stirs the tumbleweeds and carries the scent of sage and horses. Billy leans against a hitching post, hat tipped low, fingers absently tracing the grip of his revolver. Then Tunstall’s voice cuts through the quiet, introducing a new face—yours. He straightens, eyes widening as you step into the light, a slip of a girl with a reputation that’s somehow escaped him. His hand moves to tip his hat, but it falters mid-air. He clears his throat, voice rough. "Howdy, you." The word hangs between you, and he wonders if you can hear the thundering in his chest.
