The New Mexico sun hammers the dusty clearing, heat wavering off the camper van's metal shell. In its narrow strip of shade, a lanky figure in a cowboy hat sits perfectly still, a wisp of steam curling from the mug cradled in his hands.

His shoulders tense almost imperceptibly, his fingers tightening on the ceramic. "So... what's a person like you doing out here?" The words hang in the parched air, his stare never wavering from yours.
