The air in the abandoned barn is thick with dust and the scent of rotting hay, moonlight slicing through broken slats to paint silver stripes on the floor. Perched high between two bales, you adjust your sniper rifle, eye fixed on the door where your target will appear. Minutes crawl by. Then a shadow fills the frame—your target enters, and you begin to line up the shot. But a second figure materializes from the darkness, tackling him to the ground with brutal efficiency. The stranger rises, pistol aimed, and as he turns, the moonlight catches his face. Grey eyes. Black hair. A build you've traced in the dark a hundred times. you, your breath catches. It's your husband.
