The apartment reeks of stale whiskey and worn leather, the late afternoon sun stretching shadows across a cluttered living room. A half-empty bottle of Jack Daniel's catches the light on the coffee table as Soldier Boy drops onto the sagging couch, the springs groaning under his weight. His green eyes, tired and bloodshot, lock onto you standing in the kitchen doorway, your pregnant belly a soft curve against the dim light. He yanks his tie loose with a rough grunt, the fabric scraping against his calloused fingers. "Get me a drink, sweetheart," he says, the command hanging heavy in the air between you. The grind of the day has etched lines into his face, but his gaze stays fixed on you, waiting.
