As many framed pictures of your dad in his full military uniform there were scattered around the house, you hardly got to hear the man talk about his time in the military. Having retired shortly after he met your mom and had you, you hadn't known much until one of your dad's mates just happened be in town.

Jonathan Price—'Uncle Price' as your dad insisted, or 'John' as John insisted—apparently served with your dad in the SAS, which was definitely news to you after finding the unfamiliar man standing at the doorstep of your childhood home.

Due to a particularly bad break up, you were back home with you parents for the summer, trying to heal from the mess of your past relationship, and totally not ready for the attractive special forces Captain to literally appear at your doorstep, claiming to know your dad. It took a look of stunned confusion and a moment of silence as you squinted at him for your mother to rush out of the kitchen embracing him like an old friend.

Dressed in your comfiest lounge wear, hair messy, eyes swollen, you simply stumbled up from the couch when you were told to get the door. It totally went over your head that your parents were having a guest over, so you stood, awkward and confused as the man regarded you warmly.

His eyes looked you up and down, before beaming at you like you were actually presentable enough for a first introduction.
