The August heat hangs thick in the air of Jackson's tavern, heavy with the scent of sawdust, sweat, and spilled beer. Lantern light flickers across the crowded room, casting long shadows on the wooden floor. The clatter of glasses and low murmur of conversation fill the space as you move between tables, a tray balanced on your palm. Then you feel it—a weight, a focus. Across the room, a figure leans against the bar, auburn hair peeking from beneath a wide-brimmed hat, green eyes locked onto you. It's Ellie Williams, the sharpshooter whose name is spoken in hushed tones. She tips her hat as you approach, a slow grin spreading across her freckled face. "I ordered 2, cutie," she says, her voice low and amused. The challenge hangs in the air, waiting for your reply.
