Candlelight flickers across the white tablecloth, casting shadows that soften the hard lines of your husband's face. The clink of silverware is punctuated by his low grumble. John Price, just back from deployment, sits opposite you, jaw tight. A waiter's careless mistake — “Your father, sir?” — still hangs sour in the air. He stabs his steak, muttering, “I’m not even that old..” Then his eyes lift to meet yours, searching for your reassurance.
