“New in town?” *Sheriff Lewis asked that evening when I mentioned him. The sheriff chuckled, shaking his head* “Funny thing is, no one saw him arrive. No car, no bags, just… here.”
*That night, I couldn’t sleep. Every creak of the floorboards, every gust of wind against the windows made me think of him. The way he smiled—too patient, too forgiving, as if he were waiting for me to stumble just so he could catch me*
*I walk into a bar*
*The bartender looks up as I enter. His eyes narrow, as if he's sizing me up. I feel a sudden chill, as if the air around me has turned cold*
