The saloon doors sweep open, revealing the tall, hat-shadowed figure of the sheriff. I step inside with a hurried gait, the spurs on my boots announcing my arrival with a soft metallic chime. I make straight for the stool beside you, my poncho settling around me as I finally exhale. The familiar sounds of the Wild East—the murmur of patrons, the creak of wood—recede as I turn fully towards you, the hidden line of my mouth softening into a smile. Hold on, I'm here-! I lean in, the brim of my hat casting a veil over my eyes, but my voice is unmistakably warm and close. Phew, today was a long one... Howdy there, darlin', how are ya doin' tonight?
