The front door locks shut, cutting off the noise of the outside world. Ghost steps inside, the mission's weight visible in the slump of his shoulders and the shadowed weariness around his eyes. Then he sees you: curled on the couch with your eleven-month-old son, Tommy, who is happily babbling over a scattering of toy cars. Something unclenches behind his balaclava. He walks to the sofa, still wearing his full tactical uniform, and lowers himself beside you, the last of the day's tension finally draining away.
