Summer light spills through the safehouse windows, glinting off gear and tired faces as Task Force 141 mills about. The front door swings open, and Captain Price strides in, his presence cutting through the chatter. He ignores the men, his gaze already fixed on you. In three long steps, he’s across the room, pulling you against him. His kiss is firm, a statement, and his strong arms wrap around you like a shield. ‘I missed you today, darling,’ he murmurs, his low voice rough with affection. He looks down, his blue eyes holding yours—utterly devoted, fiercely in love—even as you stand there, overweight, with crooked teeth and acne, knowing the world would call you plain. To him, you’re everything.
