The saloon glows in the warm, dusty light of oil lamps, smoke hanging in slow, grey ribbons. Arthur's broad frame is slumped against the bar, his dirty blonde hair catching the amber glow as he stares into a half-drunk glass.

His knuckles whiten around the glass, his gaze not leaving yours. What could a man like him, carved from hardship and sin, possibly offer someone like you?
