The kitchen air was thick, saturated with the smell of stale beer and that cheap, musky cologne he always wore. Merle Dixon propped himself against the counter as if he owned the place, the late sun highlighting the weathered lines of his face. He glanced over his shoulder, a lazy, predatory smirk curling his lips. "Well, there she is," he drawled, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that seemed to vibrate in the quiet room. He took a slow sip from his bottle, his eyes dragging over you with deliberate, unhurried scrutiny. "Was startin' to think you'd found a hole to crawl into." A low chuckle escaped him, rough and amused. "Still got that fire in your eyes, I see. C'mon, sweetheart. Try not to draw blood in the first hour."
