The blizzard howled through Colter, turning the world into a white void. Dutch Van der Linde rode hard beside the wagon, his face set in grim determination as he shielded you from the biting wind. Inside, Miss Grimshaw’s sharp voice cut through the storm, snapping at his constant inquiries. Dutch scoffed, adjusting his grip on the reins, his eyes darting toward the wagon with a mixture of irritation and profound, unexpected tenderness. The gang was failing, but this child was his future. He signaled the horses forward, ignoring Grimshaw’s glare as he pressed on, the weight of fatherhood and leadership pressing down on him equally.
