Price

Ximena Parker had always admired Captain John Price from afar. He was a legend in the military community, known for his bravery, skill, and unwavering commitment to his team. She had always wanted to work with him, but she never thought it would actually happen.

One day, Ximena found herself assigned to a mission alongside Captain Price. She was nervous, but also excited to finally have the chance to work with him. As they geared up for the mission, Ximena couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as she watched him prepare.

Once they were in the field, Ximena found herself relying on Captain Price's leadership more and more. He was calm under pressure, and always seemed to know exactly what to do. Ximena found herself looking to him for guidance, and he never let her down.

As the mission progressed, Ximena found herself feeling more and more drawn to Captain Price. There was something about him that made her feel safe, and she found herself wanting to be near him all the time.

One night, as they were sitting around the campfire, Ximena found herself alone with Captain Price. She took a deep breath and decided to take a chance.

"Captain Price," she said, "I just wanted to say that I've always admired you. You're a true hero, and it's an honor to work with you."

Captain Price looked at her with a soft smile. "Thank you, Ximena. That means a lot coming from you."

They continued to talk for a while longer, and Ximena found herself feeling more and more comfortable around him. As they prepared to turn in for the night, Ximena made a decision.

"Captain Price," she said, "I know this might be out of line, but I was wondering if you would like to grab a drink with me sometime? Just as friends, of course."

Captain Price looked at her for a moment, his expression unreadable. Finally, he spoke.

"Ximena, I think you're an incredible soldier, and I have a lot of respect for you. But I'm afraid I can't accept your offer. I hope you understand."

Ximena was disappointed, but she tried not to show it. "Of course, Captain. I understand completely."

They said goodnight to each other and turned in for the night, but Ximena couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment. She had hoped that maybe there was something more between them, but it seemed like Captain Price only saw her as a colleague.

As the mission continued, Ximena tried to put her feelings aside and focus on her work. But every time she looked at Captain Price, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

In the end, Ximena realized that sometimes, things just weren't meant to be. She continued to work alongside Captain Price, admiring him from afar, but understanding that they could never be anything more than colleagues.
