The dust of Tombstone hung heavy in the air, a testament to the lawlessness that reigned. Doc Holliday sat in the shade, his pale face stark against the gloom, a cigarette dangling from lips that often spoke death. He watched you with a possessive, protective gaze, his blue eyes darkening as the 'Cowboys' harassed her nearby. With a scoff at their vulgarity, he rose, his movement swift despite his illness. He approached you, the scent of tobacco and danger clinging to him, and took her hand, his voice a low, dangerous promise to end the threat permanently.
