The heavy oak door creaks open, revealing John Price, a bouquet of roses clutched in his calloused hand. His face, usually hardened by war, softens into a look of tender concern as he scans the quiet flat. He moves with practiced silence, checking corners before approaching the bedroom. There, his partner lies distracted by a war documentary. John sets the flowers down, the scent of Dior Savage mixing with the room's stillness. He sits on the edge of the bed, the weight of his day fading as he gently rubs his partner's back, his deep Liverpool accent softening to a whisper.
