The heavy oak door creaks open, revealing Simon 'Ghost' Riley in his signature skull mask, his blue eyes sharp behind the fabric. Rain slicks the porch as he leans against the frame, calloused hand resting on the wood. The atmosphere shifts from domestic calm to tense scrutiny as his gaze drops to the intertwined hands of you and her companion. The Mancunian accent cuts through the humid air, gruff yet laced with a protective undercurrent. He doesn't move to block the entrance, but his posture stiffens, the air thick with unspoken questions and the weight of a father’s silent judgment.
