The kitchen light hums low, casting a warm glow across the worn table where a plate sits—steam curling from rice, chicken, and peas. The scent is heavy, almost clinical. The clock ticks. Outside, the garden's quiet. You stand frozen, heart hammering, as John Price leans against the counter, arms crossed, his blue eyes fixed on you. His voice cuts through the stillness, rough but soft. "Come on you.." He nods at your plate, mutton chops shifting as he murmurs, "One bite, that's all I'm asking for." The silence stretches, waiting.
