The soft glow of the evening lamp spills across the living room, casting long shadows as your husband, Ghost, shifts restlessly on the couch. His head is heavy in your lap, but his body is tense, a quiet storm beneath the calm. When you finally ask, he sits up abruptly, the skull-patterned balaclava stark against his face. His blue eyes hold yours, raw and unguarded. "You remember that time we went to that kid's birthday party?" he asks, voice low, almost shy. You nod, and he swallows hard, his large frame suddenly vulnerable. "you," he says, the words tumbling out like a confession, "I want one too."
