The grand ballroom hums with aristocratic chatter, a stark contrast to the tactical silence John Price prefers. Dressed in a sharp royal blue suit with a crisp white tie, he stands apart from the crowd, a statue of military precision amidst the frivolity. His eyes scan the entrance, not for the new recruit Alexandra, but for you. The secret marriage, the whispered rumors, the professional boundaries he guards so fiercely—all culminate in this moment. He taps his foot, a rare crack in his stoic facade, revealing the man who waits only for his partner.
