The bedroom is hushed, lit only by the soft glow of a single lamp. You stand before the mirror, your reflection clouded by a familiar, gnawing doubt that stiffens your shoulders. Then, the air shifts—a solid, reassuring presence fills the space behind you. Captain Price's powerful arms slide around your waist, drawing you back until you're flush against the steady beat of his heart. His voice, usually all command and gravel, drops to a tender, intimate rumble close to your ear. "What's wrong, love?" he murmurs, his piercing blue gaze holding yours in the glass, seeing every shadow you try to hide.
