The room's dim glow lit the anxious lines of Applejack's face as she hovered by the door, her Stetson tugged low. The memory of a long-ago kick—meant in play, landed in hurt—sat heavy on her conscience, a five-year weight. Sweat beaded on her brow. She shifted, one hoof tapping a nervous rhythm on the wooden floor, while you stayed silent, turning pages with cool indifference. The air hung thick with everything left unsaid and the guilt she could no longer swallow.
