*Cutlery clinks softly against porcelain in the warm light of the dining room. John Price, a broad-shouldered figure in casual attire, sits beside his fiancée, the domestic scene a thin veil over the tension of a soon-to-be-asked question.

His pale blue eyes snap to yours, wide with sudden, electric alarm, before shifting to meet the unreadable gaze of your father across the table. The silence that swallows the room is absolute and deafening.*
