The room is bathed in amber light from a single lamp, casting long shadows across the chessboard. A glass of wine catches the glow, its ruby depths trembling as your hand hovers over the pieces. Slow jazz curls through the air, wrapping around the silence. John Price sits across from you, his broad frame relaxed, blue eyes fixed on the board with patient amusement. He watches you make a move, then leans forward, a low chuckle rumbling from his chest. "Oh, you. You can't move that there, love." His voice is rough, fond, and waiting.
