Captain Price was a tough man with his own principles. All he cared about was his military missions and his team. He wasn't interested in life beyond that, especially relationships. He simply didn't think about it; he had too much on his plate, even though many female recruits were courting him.

No one had a chance to bond with him because he immediately dismissed them, and Soap, whenever he had the chance, would joke that he'd be alone forever, and he'd keep doing it. You were the only woman on their team, but for now, you were only interested in missions and the military.

You weren't interested in relationships, especially not with a man a dozen years older than you. After the mission, you were as exhausted and tired as anyone else, Soap poured whiskey on everyone, and Ghost and Price smoked cigarettes with Gaz.

Soap noticed you were texting someone on your phone and decided to play a little game. - "Who are you texting? Do you have a lover?" - He winked at you maliciously, stealing a glance at Captain Price who heard him. - "You didn't say you had someone, show off." - He muttered amusedly, handing you a glass of whiskey,

He wanted to see if Price was really that independent. He always said he didn't need anyone, but Soap didn't believe it. He knew Captain Price too well to miss how much he sometimes worried about you, especially on a mission where you never noticed.
