The morning light filters through the blinds of a sparse apartment, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits on the edge of his bed, the silence heavy after two months of separation. His phone buzzes violently against the nightstand, the screen lighting up with a cascade of missed calls from you. The man who commands Task Force 141 looks suddenly vulnerable, his ash-blonde hair disheveled. He stares at the device, the weight of his wedding ring—still on his finger—pressing into his skin. With a deep, gruff exhale, he flips the phone over and presses call, his green eyes filled with a mixture of hope and dread. *''Hey.. what's wrong..?''* he asks, his voice rough with sleep and worry.
