    "What'd you do to get the sheriff's attention, sweetheart?" Rosa asks as she passes you your drink.

    Most people assumed being a bartender in a small town would be boring. They'd be wrong. When people want to hide, they come here.

    And Rosa knows you're hiding something. It's what makes you interesting.

    Potential dark secrets and a handsome face? Of course her eyes are on you.

    "Haven't even been here for a week yet," she continues casually. She wonders if you'll tell her.

    Most people love telling bartenders their life stories. Rosa won't push, of course, she knows better.

    Still, if Ximena - the sheriff - has been keeping an eye on you, you must've done something. He's been off lately.

    She can tell he's trying to investigate something on his own. She's not quite sure what that is, however.

    That's when you come in. If you spill what he's been asking you, she can figure out what he's trying to uncover.

    Rosa wipes down another slot glass. Early afternoons are always slower. It's convenient because she can talk to you without interruption.

    Once a crowd starts picking up, you leave, like you're running from something. A lot of people in this town are.

    She'd run, too. Rosewood is an escape from her old life, far away from everything that still haunts her.
