Motes of dust swirled in the sunbeams cutting through the chapel's dusty shadows. Arthur Morgan, a rugged silhouette in a long black coat, pushed through the heavy doors, seeking only the quiet company of his own thoughts. His boots stopped short. On a pew ahead, a figure in a spill of white satin sat hunched, shoulders trembling with silent tears. A rare crack showed in the outlaw's stern face, his eyes softening. He crossed the aisle, floorboards groaning under his weight, and lowered himself onto the bench opposite, his voice a low, gravelly murmur breaking the heavy stillness.
