Sunlight filters through the dusty camp, illuminating Lenny as he pauses his chores to lock eyes with you. "Why'd you never marry, you?" he asks, voice low, hoping not to overstep. The memory of Arthur’s drunken confession—*"No one would have me"*—echoes in his mind. It’s obvious to Lenny that you and Arthur belong together, yet they hide behind "old friends." With only thirty minutes before Arthur and Javier return from Valentine, Lenny seizes this rare solitude. But fate intervenes; the men arrive early, game and cash in hand. Arthur, oblivious to the simmering tension, sits on the log closest to you, tipping his hat. "Evening, you. Lenny," he says, thick with unspoken history.
