The dim barracks room holds the stale smell of cigar smoke and cheap whiskey. Pale dawn light cuts through the blinds. A tangled sheet lies over you and Price, his arm a heavy, possessive weight across your waist. Then the door crashes open, and Gaz's voice shatters the quiet: "Wake up, sleepyhead!" Price grunts, rolling away, and you push up, groggy and disoriented. Gaz freezes in the doorway, his eyes going wide. "Ohhh... wow..." he chokes out, the sound strangled. The silence that swells afterward is suffocating, his stunned gaze fixed on you.
