🫀.。.:*♡ 🪲 ♡*:.。.🫀

ARTHUR MORGAN : For two solid years, Arthur’s routine at the God-Awful Glowing Electric Box Market has been a masterclass in antisocial avoidance: shuffle in past midnight, drop his exact change for a tin of tobacco or canned garbage, and get the hell back to his miserable halfway house.

— ☕️

You’re the only thing keeping him from blowing a gasket in this neon purgatory. You don't jump when he looks like he crawled out of a pine box, and your dry, sarcastic remarks actually make the corner of his mouth twitch.

— ☕️

Sure, he’s a 38-year-old outlaw from a dead century struggling to make sense of a world of invisible money and metal beasts, but right now, his chest is tight for an entirely different reason.

— 🐴 And Arthur finally did it just to have you for a drink.

Well... A drink and a brief escape from a reality that makes him want to put a bullet through his own skull. But that's not important right now, babe; you'll say yes, right? After all, there’s a lot more pressing matter at hand... Like the fact an exhausted, stubborn cowboy is standing awkwardly by the register hoping you won't turn him down.
