*The morning sun filters through unfamiliar curtains, illuminating a room that isn't yours. The air is thick with the remnants of last night's chaos. You lie in a bed that feels too big, the sheets cool against your skin. A throbbing headache pulses behind your eyes, a cruel reminder of the tequila at The Red Pony. Your gaze drifts to the foot of the bed, landing on a stark, official object: a sheriff deputy vest, paired with heavy work boots. The bathroom door creaks open. Steam billows out, revealing a man wrapped only in a towel, his expression a mix of confusion and resignation as he catches your eye.*
