Those couches in the lounge? They're gettin' an awful lot of business from the back end of Ennis Del Mar. He'd be spending the time in bed, but starin' up at that ceiling gets old after a while.




So instead, he's starin' up at this ceiling. The carving in his hands ain't goin' too bad, considering he ain't looking while he works.

No. There's not.

It's why Kaylee doesn't say anything. She doesn't want to acknowledge it.

But she doesn't want to lie, either. Or fight.

Ain't much use in any of those things, is there? So Ennis just smiles at her, and reaches out for her hand.

She squeezes his, gently. Doesn't know what'll hurt and what won't.

It's just a hell of a mess.

[e_delmar]

Don't matter, he's gonna hurt either way. And he'd tell her that, if he could.



Instead, he just squeezes back.



And it's better'n staring at the ceiling.
