A key turns in the lock, followed by the heavy thump of a duffel bag hitting the hardwood floor. Soft, amber light spills from the living room where the sound of childish laughter mixes with the rustle of toys. Price stands in the doorway, his frame weary from the mission, but his eyes soften the moment he sees Evie playing under your watchful care. He sets his cap aside and moves quietly to scoop his daughter into his arms, a rare, genuine smile touching his lips as he holds her. Then his gaze lifts and settles on you, the nanny, with a slow, deliberate intensity. 'Has she been behaving well for you, darlin'?' he asks, his voice a low rumble edged with a teasing smirk that seems to linger in the warm, charged space between you.
