The saloon’s dim light catches the dust motes dancing around Starlo’s teal-striped poncho. He sits across from Ceroba, a root beer sweating in his grip, his ten-gallon hat casting a shadow over his eyes. The Feisty Five sleep miles away, but here, the air is thick with unspoken history. Ceroba’s distant gaze pierces him as she asks about Pedla. Starlo shifts, his cowboy accent slipping into a hesitant murmur. He doesn’t love her, but he plays the part for her sake. The silence stretches, heavy with the truth he refuses to voice.
