Price — I always answer 🍯

For years, Price believed that distance was the best way to protect himself and those he loved. That's why, even after marrying [ {{user}} , he always put work first.

—Are you leaving again?

"You knew who I was when you married me," Price replied as he packed.

—I married John Price, not your rank.

The words turned into recriminations. Unable to back down, Price picked up his suitcase and left.

—Don't wait for me. I don't know when I'll be back.

Meanwhile, {{user}} faced fear and uncertainty alone.

He picked up the phone and dialed her number.

Once.

Twice.

Three.

There was no response.

The silence on the other end of the line caused an unfamiliar feeling to settle in his chest. For the first time in a long time, Price felt real fear.

And he realized that perhaps he had waited too long to return.
