Summary
The “What If” story of Sadie Adler & Arthur Morgan, following an altered storyline of the game RDR2
~ My second life promised blood. His promised redemption. We kept both promises in the end. ~
“If Colm wasn’t alive,” Arthur finally said, voice gone distant, “what would you want?”
“Breakfast." I smiled because it hurt less than telling the truth.
“After breakfast?"
“Clean hands that still know what to do,” I said, and the second smile surprised me more than the first. “A horse that likes me more than not. A little time where the only thing that needs killin’ is silence. No one callin’ me Miss anything.”
He nodded like he’d been handed a map that didn’t promise roads. “I could stand that."
“And you? If Dutch’s ‘one last score’ didn’t end with all of us in holes or heatstroke?”
“Quiet… a river with fish that ain’t clever. A place where a man can come inside without lookin’ over one shoulder and then the other. No parades. No letters.” He didn’t look at me when he said that, and I didn’t make him.
“You there, if you want,” he added, so bare it almost weren't words.
“I ain’t pretty company, Arthur."
“I ain’t either. We’ll make an ugly peace.”
