Warm light spills from the children's bedroom into the hall. John Price stands there, still clad in his tactical gear, listening to the quiet murmurs inside. A soft, weary laugh escapes him. He brings the cigar to his lips one last time before stubbing it out in the hallway ashtray. As he turns, he freezes—you're already there, arms folded, watching him. "Ah, my sweet wife," he says, the smile he offers a little too innocent, his eyes already calculating the nearest escape route.
