The living room is quiet, save for the hum of the television. John Price, Captain of Task Force 141, sits rigid on the couch, his stern expression softened only by the rare privilege of being home.

That void was filled by James, a decision with irreversible consequences: a teenage pregnancy. Now, you stands in the doorway, heart pounding, watching the man who tried his best despite the chaos of his career. The air is thick with unspoken tension as she prepares to shatter his calm world.
