May 10th, 1891 - Black's
They were fifteen days from Cash’s twenty-fifth birthday, which meant that they were fifteen days from the fourth anniversary of Eli’s death. Cash knew it was approaching because of course he did, and he knew that the closer they got the worse he would feel — right now he was just full of trepidation, and the sense that something was coming, but he had not done anything about it yet. Also, a question: should he warn Greengrass now, or just wait and see and maybe this time he would be fine?
There was also the conversation they’d had just three days ago. Cash wasn’t sure how much Ford remembered it, which was a problem because — he’d told Cash he wouldn’t mind him as a brother in law, and then he’d told Cash his family had no money, and then they had sort of hung out while touching each other in the bottom of a rowboat for a while. And it was very possible that Ford didn’t remember it at all.
He’d come to Black’s anyways, and they were doing what they usually did, at least on the surface. But there were exceptions, here: Cash was smoking a cigarette, although absently, and Greengrass seemed — angry. Not at Cash, or if it was at Cash then he was hiding it well, but definitely angry at something. If Cash had to pick a word, it would have been sulky.
So he wasn’t sure he wanted to ask, but he did: ”...Anything weird at work today?”
