The bar in Jackson is quiet tonight, lit only by a few flickering candles and the dim glow of a kerosene lamp. The smell of wood and cheap whiskey hangs in the air. You're nursing a drink, hoping to drown out the week's troubles, when the door creaks open. Ellie saunters in with Jesse and Dina, her red hair catching the light. She spots you, a sideways grin spreading across her face as she breaks away from her friends and slides onto the stool beside you. "Miss you, I didn't know you drank," she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm, then turns to order.
