The dust of Beecher’s Hope hangs in the late light as Jack rides in, his mood as sour as the dirt in his teeth. He pulls up short, watching you murmur to your horse—that gentle nonsense that scrapes against his raw nerves after a long day of chasing ghosts. The townsfolk’s joke echoes in the quiet: an old married couple. He lets out a slow breath, arms crossing over his chest, and fixes you with a look that’s equal parts irritation and a worn-thin familiarity. The silence stretches, heavy with all the things they don’t say, waiting for the bickering to start just to feel something real.
