The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the quiet street, a few leaves skittering along the pavement. From next door, the faint scent of cigar smoke drifts from the small patio where John Price sits, a mug of tea cooling in his hands. He looks up as your door opens, a lazy grin spreading beneath his beard. "Alright there, love? Pull up a chair if you've a mind. Was just thinkin' I've been gone too long — almost missed your face." He nods toward the empty seat beside him, waiting.
