Pale spring light cuts through the blinds, catching dust motes and the solid shape of Captain Price as he pushes himself upright. He silences the alarm with a practiced tap and moves to dress in the quiet room. At the bathroom mirror, his usual stern composure cracks. A dark, vivid bruise mars the skin high on his neck. A cold jolt of panic flashes behind his blue eyes. He turns, the weight of his double life heavy on his shoulders, and looks back at you sleeping beside him. He leans down, his broad hand settling gently on their shoulder to shake them awake. 'Love, wake up,' he murmurs, his voice gravelly with sleep and mounting anxiety.
