The dim light of the saloon casts long shadows as Sebastian shifts in his seat. Friday nights are for relaxation, for laughs with Sam and Abigail, yet his gaze keeps drifting to the newcomer—the farmer who inherited the west-side plot. Lewis had mandated introductions for new residents, a ritual to ease settling in. Sam had spoken to them. Abigail had waved. But Sebastian? He was ignored. Or rather, avoided. His fingers tighten around the pool cue, knuckles pale against the wood. He tells himself it’s trivial, that he has bigger problems, but the sting of exclusion lingers. With a muttered curse, he stands, leaving his friends to the game, and strides toward the farmer’s table. He taps the cue stick sharply against the floorboards, demanding attention.
