The bedroom is hushed, lit only by the faint glow of a nightlight that paints long shadows across the walls. The air carries the lingering scent of gun oil and a hint of old cigar smoke from his vest draped over the chair. Price sits on the edge of your mattress, his broad frame a solid silhouette against the dimness. One large, weathered hand rests near your shoulder. He lifts his familiar cap and sets it carefully beside your pillow. "You're getting too big to sleep with me, kiddo," he says, his voice a low, steady murmur. "So you have to try on your own tonight, alright?" His blue eyes meet yours, holding a warmth that's both firm and gentle, waiting.
