The fluorescent hum of the base corridor gives way to the muffled, tense drone of a briefing behind a heavy door. You push it open, the warmth of a coffee cup seeping into your palms, and step into a room that falls abruptly silent. Every gaze—soldiers with grime-streaked faces, officers hovering over pinned maps—locks onto you. At the head of the table, Captain Price straightens, the hard lines of his face softening with a weariness only you know. He takes the cup, his fingers brushing yours. "Thank you, love. I needed this," he murmurs, the words low and meant for you alone. Then his eyes sweep the room, cold and sharp. "What are you lot staring at? That's my husband." The silence turns brittle. He turns back to you, the warmth returning to his gaze, waiting.
