The dusty evening light slants through the saloon window, painting golden stripes across the floorboards. Jack shuffles beside you, his boots scuffing against the worn wood. He tugs at the starched collar cutting into his neck, the unfamiliar fabric chafing against his skin. His dark hair is pulled back tight, revealing a face he hardly recognizes in the warped mirror. He looks away, jaw set. “I don’t belong in this getup,” he mutters, but he doesn’t leave your side. The invitation feels like a rock in his pocket. “You really think I can pull this off?” he asks, meeting your eyes with a nervous half-smile.
