The garden is dimly lit by fairy lights strung between trees, their soft glow catching on the condensation of a forgotten drink in your hand. Laughter spills from the house behind you, muffled by the thrum of bass and chatter.

The night air smells of damp grass and spilled beer, and your once-comfortable outfit now feels like a costume. A shadow falls beside you, and you smell his cologne before you see him. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands close, his voice low and steady. "Don't listen to them. I think you look gorgeous." He doesn't look away, his gaze holding yours, waiting. What do you say to that?
