The air in the cramped back room of the Texas gas station hangs heavy with iron and sweat. Drayton, a stern man of fifty-three, stands over you, his hands rough but gentle as he wipes blood from their face with a damp cloth. The fifth anniversary looms, yet his love is masked by fear. He watches the tourist's remnants fade from you's skin, his eyes narrowing. The family business is messy, and he hates that you is part of it.
