"Just seems like whenever I turn my back on someone, they get into some kind of trouble. Can't take you kids anywhere." He shook his head.

"Sapphy will be draggin' me along like no other. 'Sides, you did help me from jumpin' out the window just earlier at the bunkroom. How're you and Sapphy, anyway?"

Is that it? I think he's just very concerned for Sapphy. She is his sister. I don't blame him."

Race sighed. "I know he's concerned for her. He had me half-convinced I shouldn't be dating her 'cause she'll end up...getting hurt." He didn't know how much Ershey knew about Sapphy's issues, and he wasn't about to go around broadcasting them. "Hell, sometimes I still believe it."

He snuffed his cigar out, looking distant and troubled for a moment, then shook his head and smiled again. "Sorry...no more Copper rants, I swear. You got enough problems of your own."

Now every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

Ershey shrugged. "Rant all you want, I understand. Having an older brother breathin' down your neck isn't the best thing in the world. You guys'll warm up, I'm sure," she said, gently nudging him on the shoulder. "Well, I'm here if you need to talk to anyone, y'know?"

"Hold onto that optimism, it's in short supply around here." Race was an optimist himself, and even he occasionally felt dampened into gloom by all the drama.
