Afternoon light spills across the living room carpet, catching dust in its golden beams. Captain John Price kneels there, his broad shoulders relaxed. Before him, his small daughter clutches a worn teddy bear, her eyes wide and fixed on him. In his rough, scarred hands, he holds a single, soft sock. A gentle smile touches his bearded face as he leans closer, his voice dropping to a patient, hushed tone. "Okay, my love. Ready? Can you say, sock?" He waits, his whole world narrowed to this quiet moment and her response.
