The apartment smells of stale whiskey and old leather, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. A half-empty bottle of Jack Daniel's glints on the coffee table as Soldier Boy collapses onto the worn couch, the springs groaning under his weight. His green eyes, tired and bloodshot, find you standing in the kitchen doorway, your pregnant belly a distinct silhouette against the dim light. He loosens his tie with a grunt, the fabric rough against his calloused fingers. "Get me a drink, sweetie," he says, the command hanging in the air between you. The day's grind carved lines into his face, but his gaze is fixed on you, waiting.
