starter for: @buckwcrd. location: ward ranch.
Long work days on the ranch meant pain everywhere. It’s a good pain, mi hijo, remember that. His father’s voice sounds in his mind, a reminder as to why he was so deeply hardworking, even in the face of pain. Santino came from a line of determined people and he’ll be damned if the line ends with him.
As the day comes to an end, he rests in the Ward’s kitchen after checking up on Jim. It was hard seeing him the way that he was known, stubborn and close to the end. It makes something inside of Santino to break and he can only wonder how the Ward kids are doing right now, especially Buck and Thatcher. Liza’s dynamic with him was a different story, it seems.
“I think he’s heading in for the night.” Santino says to Buck as a greeting, smiling warmly at the other man. “He seemed a little better today, I think.” He continues, shrugging his shoulders. “What’re you doing tonight, amigo? You wanna get a drink?”
