Walked over to the Golden Nugget and sat down at one of the quieter places, where we could actually hear each other talk over the fucking loud ding noises of the slots. I was resting one hand on my knee, while the other kept playing nervously with my cig as I tried to take in my company

It was a strange silence that followed our rag-tag little group, even amongst the cacophany of Fremont Street and the old casinos and the music accompanying the overhead show.

I quirked an eyebrow at her words before pulling back and showing anything else. But really, I was learning quite a bit already.

"You didn't, Faith. Not a bit."

That was the way of things, then. I hardly had time to process that before her name settled. Faith. There was something there I think I am supposed to know.

"So, now that we're away
