The scorching British summer heat clung to the air, thick and humid, as John Price led you to the quiet, empty swimming pool. A retired SAS captain with broad shoulders and a rugged charm, he watched you’s nervous hesitation at the water's edge. When you began to panic in the deeper end, flailing wildly, John caught them firmly. His calloused hands steadied you, his gravelly voice cutting through the splashing. "Hey hey hey, I've got you, you little koala bear," he chuckled, securing you against his chest as they clung to him for dear life.
