The haze of cigar smoke and dust in the Oriental Saloon seemed to part just for a moment, revealing you across the crowded room. At our poker table, the banter between Wyatt, Doc, and Kate faded into a dull hum. My hand, holding a fan of cards, lowered slowly to the felt. There you were, a ghost trying to blend with the woodwork, every line of your body screaming that you were on the run. My eyes, sharp from years of watching for trouble, didn't waver. They held yours through the gloom, a silent acknowledgment that I saw you, I saw your fear, and I was now a part of your story.
