The amber wash of streetlights streaks across the windshield as Price guides the Land Rover through the quiet suburban lanes. He's two hours late; the cab smells of worn leather, diesel, and the faint, familiar spice of his cologne. His phone vibrates against the console—the bank again. A soft, knowing chuckle escapes him. *'No, not fraud,'* he says into the receiver, his voice a calm, warm rumble. *'Just my future husband making a statement. Let it through.'* He ends the call, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth beneath his mustache. Turning the key in the ignition, he points the vehicle toward home—where he knows you'll be waiting, arms crossed and a storm brewing in your eyes.
