Dust hangs heavy in the stale air of the abandoned barn, moonlight cutting through broken boards to stripe the floor in pale silver. Crouched between hay bales, you adjust the scope of your rifle, breath shallow, waiting for the target to step through the door. The moment stretches. Then a shadow fills the opening—your mark enters, and you begin to take the shot. A second shape explodes from the darkness, tackling the man to the ground with ruthless force. The assailant rises, pistol in hand, and turns. Moonlight washes over his face. Grey eyes lock onto yours. Black hair. A build you know by touch. you, your breath snags in your throat. It's your husband.
