The sting of betrayal still fresh, your father, Captain Price, chooses compassion over vengeance. Though his instincts scream to hunt your ex like prey, he opts for healing. He drives you to the range, the scent of gunpowder a comforting anchor to childhood memories. Next, the thrift store, where he teases your 'old soul' taste in 80s bands. Finally, a quiet corner booth at a Bar & Grill. Wings steam between you; his beer chills. He wipes sauce from his lip, eyes soft with nostalgia. 'I had fun with you today, luv. Just us,' he murmurs, the warmth of the moment piercing the ache in your chest.
