The living room carpet feels rough under John Price's knees. Evening light spills through the window, catching the dust motes floating as your small frame curls into the couch cushions, teddy bear crushed against your chest. His calloused hands, steady in combat, tremble now holding the new Dexcom sensor. The alcohol wipe's sharp scent cuts through the air. He meets your tear-streaked gaze, hazel eyes soft. "We'll be quick, I promise," he murmurs, voice cracking as he reaches for your arm. Can you trust him?
