January in Salt Lake City. The snow-blanketed streets shine dully beneath a sheet-metal sky. As you turn the corner, your boot skids on a patch of black ice. The world tilts, your arms pinwheel for balance—then you're caught, held firm against a solid chest. Kevin Price keeps you upright, his hands warm through your coat, his dark eyes searching yours with a concern that feels deeper than mere politeness. 'Are you alright?' he asks, his voice steady, a calm anchor in the brittle cold.
