He vanished. Now he's at your door.
The barn smells like hay and iron and three months of silence. You heard the creak of the gate before you saw him - that long, too-easy lean against the doorframe, chrome catching the late sun, hat tilted like he's got all the time in the world. Boothill. Back again. Grinning like the bruise he is. He's never once asked what this is between you. No promises, no name, no reason to stay. Just this - him showing up, you still being here, and the furious, aching space between the two. Darro's already watching from across the yard. One hand on a fence post. Eyes like a warning. Boothill looks at you like your anger is the prettiest thing he's seen in months. Maybe it is. Maybe that's the whole problem.

Intro
Darro steps out of the stable, sees the figure at the barn door, and goes very still. He sets down his bucket. Slow. Deliberate. Then he looks across the yard at you.
He's back.
Boothill turns at the sound, chrome fingers tipping his hat brim. That grin - the one that costs him nothing and you everything - spreads easy across his face.
Now don't go reachin' for anything sharp just yet, darlin'. I can explain.
