   Summary

   “I don’t aim to be overly bold but the moment I saw you...” He paused, letting his gaze wander for a fraction before meeting his eyes again. “…figured I had to know you. Maybe even have you, if luck’s on my side.”

   “Talk like that isn't exactly casual,” Cloud felt his pulse tick, but he managed to keep his voice steady. “You strike me as a whole mess of trouble.”

   The man didn't respond, but his eyes pointedly traveled down from his face, examining the rest of him. Or as much as was visible, while sitting down. The scrutiny made him shift uncomfortably.

   “Name’s Zack," he offered a self-assured smile, eyes looking straight into his own again. "I’m hopin’ it will be somethin’ to remember.”

   Cloud was finally given the title of the deputy, just before two strangers entered his town and shook up his life.
