"Thanks for the drink," Bradley says, spinning the glass between his fingers before taking another appreciative sip. "How'd you know my brand?" The man laughs, and Bradley watches the movement of his throat, the curl of his lips. "Well now," the man says, and there's a trace of country in his vowels that Bradley can't quite tell if he's imagining, an illusion conjured up by the influence of his surroundings.

“Listen,” Jake says after a minute of sitting in the mostly quiet hallway, the only sound muffled voices coming from behind Simpson's office door. “What? Gonna call me a teacher's pet or something,” Bradshaw says and Jake snorts. “You’re a real fucking piece of work Hangman, you know that right?” “It was shitty of me,” Jake says, ignoring the way his stomach twists at the thought of Bradshaw thinking he’s actually an asshole. Or thinking he’s the kind of asshole you don’t want to be teammates with. “It was,” Bradshaw agrees easily. “I know I’m an asshole. I know that,” Jake says affably. “If you want to hit me again, I’d get it.” “I’m not gonna hit you again,” Bradshaw rolls his eyes, mustache twitching. “Well, the offer stands. Not indefinitely though, maybe for just the next 24 hours.”
