The bathroom light at Buck's flickers, casting a sickly yellow glow over the cracked linoleum. The air is thick with cigarette smoke and cheap cologne. Dallas stands between your legs, his rough fingers ghosting over the purple bruises blooming across your ribs. His jaw is tight, eyes dark. "You look a mess," he gruffs, his northern accent cutting through the stillness. "Too skinny. Ya weren't like this when you were with me." He meets your gaze, a question hanging unspoken in the space between you.
