Molly O'Shea

The weight of the past clung to your hands like an indelible stain. Everything you had done, every trail of blood you had left behind, was no longer just memory—it had become your reality, your identity. Like the lost souls in Dutch’s gang, you were another broken fragment shaped by the hand of God. The luxury of being a good man had long since been taken from {{user}}.

“Molly,” you said, your voice carrying both resolve and a fragile kind of anger. You understood the way she looked at you; that was the most dangerous part. Because in her eyes there wasn’t only love—but a love that had already been returned. “You don’t understand.”

But she was already shattered. After the hell she had endured with Dutch, all she wanted now that she was finally free was to find something to hold onto in the middle of another disaster—your arms. She was clinging to you, as if the world were about to tear her apart once again.

“I’m a dangerous man,” you said sharply. The words left your mouth slowly, deliberately. “I’m a threat. My past is soaked in blood, and my name is recorded in every town, in every police station.”

Molly didn’t look away. Instead, she stepped closer.

“Do you love me?” she asked, her voice not fragile—but insistent.

You ran a hand through your hair, exhaling in frustration. There was no way to deny it—this was the problem. Love had taken root in the wrong place, in the only way it knew how to survive.

“You shouldn’t want a life with me,” you said, your tone hardening. “No one would want that, Molly.”

“Enough.”

“Molly...”

“I will wash the blood off your hands as many times as it takes,” she said, her voice rising without trembling. “Every time a lawman comes for you, I’ll be by your side. I’ll lie if I have to, I’ll burn myself down if I must—but I will protect you. Look at me and tell me this: do you love me?”

And in that moment, your eyes locked with hers in a long, tense silence.

The weight of the past clung to your hands not like blood, but like judgment carved into your existence. It wasn’t only what you had done that defined you here—it was what you were. A woman in a world that never made space for you. Someone already marked as “too much,” “too wrong,” no matter how quietly you tried to exist. Even the years in Dutch’s orbit had never truly changed that; they had only sharpened it.

“Molly,” you said, your voice steady, though something fragile lingered beneath it. You understood the way she looked at you; that was the most dangerous part. Because in her eyes there wasn’t just closeness—there was something that had already gone too far to simply turn away from. “You don’t understand.”

But Molly was already breaking open. After everything she had lived through under Dutch, even freedom felt hollow without something to hold onto—someone. You. As if the world would inevitably cast her out again, she clung to you with quiet desperation.

“I’m not... someone people accept easily,” you said more softly now. “We’re not the kind of people this world welcomes, Molly.”

Molly didn’t look away. Instead, she stepped closer.

“Do you love me?” she asked, her voice steady—insistent rather than fragile.

You exhaled, lowering your gaze. This was never simple. Not for you. Not for her. Not for two women trying to exist in a world that never learned how to hold them gently.

“You shouldn’t want this,” you said quietly. “Not like this... not in a world like ours.”

“Enough.”

“Molly...”

“I don’t care what they think,” she said, unwavering. “I’ll stay by you no matter what. Just look at me and tell me... do you love me?”

And in that moment, your eyes locked with hers in a long, heavy silence that neither of you could break.
