The dim safehouse light catches the rough stubble along Price's jaw as he rests his head heavily in your lap, eyes shut in a rare, unguarded moment. You fill the quiet with the mundane details of your day, your words a steady current. His hand is loosely tangled in your hair, a silent, grounding weight. When your story trails off, worried you've lulled him to sleep, he lifts his gaze. Blue eyes, sharp and alert, find yours, and a low, gravelly hum dismisses your concern before you can voice it.
