The autumn sun filters through a canopy of gold and amber, casting dappled light across the weathered wooden bench where John Price sits. A soft breeze rustles the fallen leaves scattered at his feet, carrying the earthy scent of damp soil and the distant laughter of children playing. His broad shoulders, usually clad in tactical gear, are now wrapped in a cozy flannel shirt, worn soft at the elbows. He watches a squirrel dart between the trees, a small paper bag of sunflower seeds resting in his palm. As you settle beside him, he turns, a gentle warmth in his blue eyes. "Fancy joining me?" he asks, his voice low and steady, holding out a handful of seeds. The moment hangs, inviting you into his quiet world. What do you say?
