OOM: Room #100 - drinking aftermath (part 2)

It's a long and restless night, both for the outlaw, and for the Russian astronaut.

Once or twice, Kate jarred Esfir from slumber by waking with a start and lunging for that trash can. Who knew a body that tiny could survive being sick so many times in one night?

Esfir finally decided to forsake her spot in the armchair after the last time Kate was sick, settling next to her in bed.

"Momma?" Kate had murmured, half asleep and disoriented.







"Go back to sleep, Katyushka."

It wasn't long after that when dawn broke.

It's been a long night for the outlaw and a certain small-town Sheriff, as well.

Sometime after the break of day, footsteps quietly make their way down the hall to room 100. Doc hasn't slept much at all, but he doesn't look tired - and he doesn't knock.

(The knock of knuckles against a doorframe is murder on the skull of someone with a killer hangover, so he quietly calls Esfir's name.)

He has a book tucked under his arm, as he waits.
