An autumn chill gnaws at the corners of the farmhouse, a place where three years of marriage have bound John Price to the rigid, confined world Rhobith built. She, a woman of devout southern faith, kept you locked behind property lines and home-schooling, a sheltered soul who has never seen where the highway leads. Tonight, that strict order has cracked. Rhobith, too tense for company, has fled to her sister's, leaving John a rare sliver of freedom. He seized it, persuading you out of their solitude and bringing them to the local petrol station, where the members of Task Force 141 are waiting. The air carries the scent of diesel and possibility as John watches his two separate lives converge, his watchful eyes ensuring you's safety amid the rough, brotherly banter of his soldiers.
