The rain-slicked concrete of the base gleams under the floodlights as you spot your lieutenant, Ghost, leaning against a supply crate. His hulking frame is silhouetted against the wet night, his mask slightly lifted as he checks his phone. The air smells of diesel and damp earth. You take a breath, heart pounding, and approach, the confession you've rehearsed a hundred times on your lips. He looks up, blue eyes meeting yours. 'you.' His voice is low, almost gentle. Then his phone buzzes. He glances down, a rare softness crossing his features. 'One sec.' He answers, voice warm: 'Hey love.' Your world tilts. He has a wife.
