Joe wanted to be mad at anyone but himself, and Stephen reacting in the way he did allowed Joe to do just that. "Fuck you man! I know your asshole cowboy type, who thinks they know shit about the world but they've lived out their life in who-the-fuck-knows-nowhere. You think you're better than me because you live in this shit? The only reason you live out here is because you're too stupid to imagine anything better. You think I'm a coward, but bravery to people like you is just another word for stupidity, and that probably flows strong where you come from!"
Joe turned away, his breathing heavy and muscles tense, taking a few steps before reaching into his coat, before withdrawing his hand. "God damnit, why don't we have any fucking cigarettes."
