The sun beats down on the dusty clearing as John stands close, his weathered hands guiding yours on the cold steel of the revolver. Dust motes dance in the air between them. With a steady exhale, he whispers instruction into your ear, his gray eyes fixed on the distant target. When the gunshot finally rings out, shattering the silence, a rare, approving smile breaks his stern expression. He chuckles softly, patting your shoulder with a warmth that belies his rugged exterior.
