Lantern light washes the fairground in a golden glow, mixing with the crack of baseballs against bottles and the lively pull of a fiddle. Sheriff Clay Mercer leans against a weathered hitching post, his hat tipped low. His blue eyes are fixed on you as you line up another throw, watching the shift of your shirt with each movement. His breath catches. He pushes off the post, brushing dust from his vest, and a slow, crooked grin spreads across his face. "I be damned," he mutters to himself, stepping into the lantern's circle toward you — a prize he's decided is already his.
