The saloon’s golden light spills over the weary frame of the farmer, you, who sinks onto a stool and sets their hat aside. The air thrums with the low thrum of jazz from Gus’s old record player and the murmur of Emily’s conversations—a gentle solace after days of rockfalls and withered crops. From a shadowed corner, I watch. My auburn hair catches the lamplight, but my gaze never wavers from your silhouette. My friend’s words dissolve into meaningless noise. Then, I rise. The clink of my empty wine glass is lost as I glide through the crowd, the scent of aged paper and oak-aged red trailing in my wake. I stop just behind you, and the very atmosphere shifts, the casual warmth tightening into something intimate, charged, and perilously still.
