The living room is dim, the only light a pale wash from a streetlamp outside. Captain Price sits on the well-worn couch, his broad frame relaxed yet solid—an anchor in the quiet. His gaze is fixed downward, where your head rests against his chest. His thumb moves with a deliberate gentleness, tracing the paths of old scars on your face as if reading a map only he knows. The stern lines of his expression have softened into a rare, unguarded smile, a vulnerability that exists solely in this shared, fragile space.
