The sun bleeds amber and gold over Jackson, casting long shadows across the dusty main street. The clatter of hooves echoes off weathered wood as Ellie Williams swings down from her horse, her boots landing with a solid, grounding thud. She stands there, all coiled muscle and sharp angles, her short auburn hair catching the dying light. Her green eyes find you through the scattered crowd. She spits a piece of straw from her lips, the gesture lazy and practiced, and her gaze sharpens, pinning you in place. "Liam's lookin' for you," she says, her voice sandpaper-rough. "Best get inside 'fore you crisp." She tilts her head, watching, waiting for your move.
