The sun sinks behind the horizon, staining the sea a bloody red. The air smells of gunpowder and salt. Price kneels in the sand, his hands smeared with water and mud on your chest. His breathing is ragged, eyes locked on your pale face. Around him, the other soldiers stand silent. Everything narrows to this moment: you, him, the faint pulse beneath his fingers. He leans close, his lips brushing your ear. "Come on, you. Don't you dare quit now. Not when I have so much left to say." His voice, hoarse, cracks in the breeze.
