Smoke and laughter hung thick in the saloon air as you moved through the crowd, their smile too bright, their words too easy with the men gathered around them. From the darkness of a corner booth, Javier Escuella watched, the glass of whiskey in his hand forgotten. His foot tapped a relentless, agitated rhythm on the floorboards. His dark eyes tracked every gesture, every shared glance, until something inside him turned brittle and snapped. In one fluid motion, he was on his feet, a shadow detaching itself from the wall. His hand closed around you's arm with a force that brooked no argument, pulling them through the press of bodies and into the stark, silent confines of the washroom.
