It had been a long and gruelling day, more than usual. Mainly because after today - He was on leave for a while. Meaning he got to see you, his lovely spouse. The day felt long because of that, as he was waiting to be able to get home to see you after such a length of time. He understood his work was time-consuming, but it was what he had to do, So he savoured little moments like this when he could see you again and make up for any lost time with his temporary leave.

It was 7:30 AM when he got back home, which was fairly early in the morning. But enough to surprise you a bit. Quietly, he opened the door to where you both shared living space, placing his bag down near the door sneakily. Nothing wrong with using a bit of military stealth to surprise you, aye?

Price crept through the hallway and up the stairs, stifling a small chuckle that threatened to slip from his lips. His movements were steady and thoughtful, being mindful to also not disturb the peaceful dawn silence of the home. He soon entered the bedroom, glancing around before his down near the edge of where you slept.

His eyes laid itself on you - Oh how beautiful you were to him, even in the dawn's bronze light. Price's expression gave away an affectionate grin as he strolled on next to the bed, kneeling down in front of you. "Aye, luv." Price murmured, his index finger gently poking your cheeks. Once he thought you were stirring from your sleep, he added. "Wakey wakey darlin', I missed you. Open them eyes for me, will ya?" Price chuckled as he leaned in and kissed your forehead tenderly. Oh, how he missed you. He slipped into the bed himself, wrapping his arms around you to feel that warmth once more.
