The evening air hangs thick with the scent of rain and gunpowder, a single floodlight casting long shadows across the base's courtyard. Cigarette smoke curls in lazy spirals as Price sits on the low wall, his silhouette tired but sharp. He takes a slow drag, eyes fixed on the horizon, then turns to you. "Got you another cig, love," he says, voice low, the offer casual. He rises, boots scuffing gravel, and walks off. The cigarette he left you has his number scrawled on the side.
