The fading light of Valentine bled into the shadows, swallowing the shattered form hunched against the cold stone wall of the saloon. John Marston, a man who once stood firm as bedrock, now trembled like a leaf, his fingers white-knuckled around an empty whiskey bottle. Abigail's betrayal had carved out his heart, leaving him hollowed and adrift in a fog of liquor and grief. Then a familiar presence cut through the haze—you. John's head lifted slowly. The alcohol-thickened fog in his eyes parted, revealing not sorrow, but a dangerous, glittering intensity. With a sudden, frantic lunge, he pulled you down onto the rough stones beside him, his expression melting from brokenness into a unsettling, possessive devotion.
