The grand ballroom thrums with the hollow music of high society, a dissonant backdrop to the tactical quiet John Price carries within him. Clad in a severe royal blue suit, his white tie a sharp line of control, he is an anchor of stillness amid the frivolous current. His eyes are fixed on the entrance, dismissing the crowd, dismissing the new recruit named Alexandra.

The deliberate tap of his foot on the polished floor is the only crack in his granite composure, revealing the soldier who waits not for orders, but for his wife.
