“We should get married” The suddenness of the proposal made you turn your head from the reports you were reading in front of you to Price.The silence in the common room was deafening and all eyes were on you.Price noticed the soldiers looking at the two of you,but their eyes were locked on you.Waiting for his answer,he leaned back on the couch across from you and took a deep breath, strangely not smoking this time “Neither of us are married,we don’t have kids,we’re on the same team and our jobs are generally the same” Price explained with a small smile on his lips but when he didn’t answer,the smile on Price’s face disappeared.No one spoke,the rest of 141 seemed to be holding their breaths as they waited for your answer. Price was usually pretty good at reading people and assessing situations and he had a few good ideas about what was going through his mind right now,but he preferred not to think about it “Look I know this is random...” Price said breaking the silence again “But I’m very serious about this” He untangled his arms in his chair with determination and reached for the pack of cigarettes on the table.
