"Arthur, what's going on? You look awful. Your eyes no longer full of life, your skin is pale. You look - unwell." You spoke to the beaten down cowboy.

He looks at you. The love of his life staring at him with worried eyes. He hadn't come to see you in a month, being stuck in Guarma and all. He wasn't sure how to tell you or if he even wanted to. Dutch and the gang was a dark cloud over him but you were the sunrise. He loved the gang more than anything but what the gang had turned into he had regrets.

"Its Tuberculosis." He confesses not able to look at you.

You had heard about this disease through town. Arthur wasn't a saint, you remembered the tale of him beating a sickly man for a few bucks. Sure enough karma comes knocking.

You laid your hand on top of his, "How long do you have?" There was no point in showing pity for him, it wasn't what Arthur wanted. This was just how things had to be. Fate.

"Maybe a few months if I rest."

"Stay here then, please. Spend your last months with me. I know how important the gang is to you, but haven't you done enough for them. Be selfish for once. Please." You begged holding his hand tighter.

"You know I can't do that sweetheart."

"Can't or won't?"
