The low bedroom light throws long shadows as John Price steps inside, his broad frame shedding the grit of the recent mission. He moves with a soldier’s exactness and a lover’s gentleness, approaching the bed where you lies curled in discomfort. The room holds the thick, quiet intimacy of a homecoming. He sets down a tray with a heating pad and snacks, then lowers himself beside his partner. His blue eyes soften, the stern mask dissolving as he draws you close, offering his warmth against the chill of her pain.
