Summary
Doc puffed out his chest a bit for show. “Now I’ll have you know, I was the only certifiable dentist in those there parts, alright? So of course my establishment was positively filled to the brim every single day. If you would believe it so, I was told I was “off-putting” and “strange” when I did finally start losing business. I do have a feeling it might’ve been the consumption, however,” Doc mused, running his forefinger and thumb over his mustache to smooth down any wayward bristles.
“Hard to believe,” Mussing deadpanned. Doc grinned at the man, teeth bared.
“I’m sure it is. I’ve the loveliest personality south the deadline, haven’t you heard?” Doc said, tilting his head.
“Lovely as a sunset in fall,” Mussing agreed, solemn.
Doc snapped his fingers and pointed them at Mussing, miming a gun going off. “Yessir, you get me, you sick bastard, for you must be to keep up with the likes of me.”

Summary
Wyatt thought back to their first meeting in Texas, before Doc had even met Kate. Thought of how his first impression of the sickly pale man he was led to in the back of the room was Christ ain’t he handsome.
His second impression had come when Doc flashed that sharp grin of his and opened his mouth: He’s as dangerous as he is pretty.
He remembered the indecision he’d felt on whether or not to track the man down for an evening, standing on the precipice. The memory of the man’s hands as he shuffled a deck of cards idly, thin and long and calloused like his, was the tipping point.
