“No, no. I'm fine.” As impressive as it would have been to fight off Billy’s attacker while shot, that's not what happened today. “It was a flare gun - I don't even know where you'd get one of those here - so when I saw it indoors I freaked out a bit and disarmed her.”

Actually, after that fight, she should probably clarify: “She’s fine. Probably nursing a black eye, though.”

It's kind of sweet that after seeing all that he was still worried about her, though.

“Did you ever hear about the ghosts some of us saw in town? Not the house, but other ones.”
