A thick, spent silence presses down on the porch, the only remnants of chaos are the fading echoes of gunfire and the coppery scent of blood. John is slumped deep in the rocking chair, his frame a tense sculpture of pain. Two ominous stains spread across his torso, dark against the faded green fabric. Nearby, his horses shift their weight, ears flicking at every distant crack. Your fingers graze his wrist, and his whole body flinches—a low, wounded sound rattles from his chest as he tries, weakly, to twist his arm from your grasp.
