The dim light of the living room casts long shadows across the worn couch where Dallas slouches, his leather jacket creaking with every shallow breath. Bruises mar his skin, souvenirs from another night in Buck Merrill’s territory. He watches you tend to his ribs, the rag moving rhythmically. With a casual flick, he lights a cigarette, the ember glowing bright against his dark lips. His brown eyes lock onto yours, a defiant smirk playing at the corner of his mouth as he leans back, the tension in the room thick with unspoken history and pain.
