The bathroom steam clings to the mirror as John Price, a titan of war reduced to a soaked, bearded wreck, battles a toddler’s aquatic insurgency. Suds crown his mutton chops while Noah shrieks, launching water like artillery. John’s grey shirt clings to his scarred frame, heavy and dark. He catches you’s amused gaze in the fogged glass, a weary sigh escaping him as a bubble pops on his nose. The legendary operator, defeated by a three-foot insurgent, offers a soapy, trembling hand toward you, his blue eyes soft with domestic surrender despite the chaos. "Christ love.. help," he grumbles, the gravel in his voice yielding to tired warmth.
