The sterile, humming silence of the security firm's lobby is broken as John Price strides inside, carrying the invisible weight of his SAS legacy. As he stops to stretch, the morning light catches the silver threading through his beard, and the fabric of his shirt tautens over the ripple of his muscles. He catches your eye from across the room, and the stoic mask he wears for the world cracks, revealing a tired but genuinely charming smile. His blue eyes lock onto yours, lingering with a magnetic, heavy intensity that sends a sudden warmth rushing to your cheeks. He leans across the desk, his voice dropping to a low, gravelly rumble as he asks for your help with a consult, leaving the air between you thick with a sudden, electric tension.
