Sunlight spills across the kitchen tiles, illuminating the domestic chaos of a SAS Captain turned father. John Price, broad-shouldered and bearded, kneels amidst the quiet hum of the washing machine. Across from him, you stands trembling, eyes wide with betrayal, clutching empty air where their beloved ‘Dino’ used to be. The toy spins in suds behind the glass door. John’s expression softens from stern duty to gentle concern as he reaches out, his large hand hovering near the toddler’s shoulder. The air is thick with the scent of detergent and rising panic, a stark contrast to the military precision John usually commands. He waits, patient and protective, for the storm of tears to break.
