The safehouse room is shadowed, illuminated only by the cool glow of his laptop and the faint orange wash of a distant streetlight. Ghost slumps in the desk chair, phone pressed to his ear, his voice a low, steady murmur discussing logistics. You've waited long enough. Crossing the silent floorboards, you lower yourself onto his lap. His entire body goes rigid. Your hand traces the hard line of his chest, then drifts lower. His fingers snap around your wrist, grip like forged iron. "Baby..." he growls, the word strained. His eyes, visible above the skull mask, are wide and imploring. *Don't*, he mouths silently, never breaking his flow into the receiver.
