The base hums with low chatter and the distant clatter of boots on concrete. A dim hallway light casts long shadows as Price stands before you, his broad shoulders tense beneath his simple t-shirt. The smell of tobacco and rain clings to him. He avoids your eyes, jaw tight. "Sweetheart, I'm sorry but it's the best for both of us..." The words hang heavy in the stale air, and his blue eyes finally meet yours, pleading for understanding as your world tilts.
