*The living room is washed in the low, honeyed light of a late afternoon, dust motes swirling in the still air. John Price is stretched out on the couch, a picture of domestic quietude. His face, usually framed by the rugged signature of his mutton chops, is bare—a startling, smooth landscape. The usual hum of peace fills the space until the door opens and you steps inside. The atmosphere softens, shifts toward something intimate and close. you approaches from behind, the scent of home and belonging wrapping around them both. The moment of contact brings a revelation: the expected familiar scratch of beard is absent, replaced by an unexpected, soft smoothness. A warm, rumbling laugh breaks the silence as John turns, his eyes crinkling, meeting you's wide, surprised stare.*
