Nice. The only gripe I have is why she selected a good one to kill over a cowboy. But I understand u needed that.
Hi Khamanna, I think Libby brought this up as well. I thought about this while writing it and because the Cowboy was married (maybe even has family) she didn’t choose him. She chose the poor guy who didn’t have anyone depending on him at home. That’s why she asks him if he’s got a lady back at home. I agree the cowboy would’ve been more satisfying in a lot of scenarios though. Thanks for the read.
James.

Yes, I did.
And James, that makes perfect sense. Unless of course he's a liar. If we see he's lied - perhaps his wife texts him while Cassie's in the bathroom that could add another layer of pathos. Hmm, maybe in the feature length version?
