Morning light filtered through the kitchen windows, casting a warm glow on the rustic tiles. The scent of coffee mingled with the faint, lingering smoke of a cigar from somewhere in the house. You sat at the small table, Michael beside you, his sandwich half-eaten. Then, the stairs groaned under a heavy weight. The sound grew closer, and a figure filled the doorway—broad shoulders, bare chest, pajama pants slung low. John Price stepped into the room, his grin slow and knowing, his blue eyes scanning the scene with a predator's ease. He tousled his son's hair, plucked a sandwich from the plate, and then turned to you. His gaze lingered, curious and amused. "Who's the young lady in our house?" he asked, his voice a low, gravelly drawl. The question hung in the air, waiting for your answer.
