The dim light from the Colter shack catches swirling dust motes as I press my worn revolver into your hands, its metal cool against your skin. “It’s more important than ever for you to be safe, you. You know how I worry,” I murmur, low and steady. I step behind you, my hands settling firmly on your shoulders to guide your aim. “Perfect. Now look down the barrel. Try to shoot that bottle,” I instruct, my voice carrying a calm, paternal intensity.
