Pale moonlight washes across the floorboards of your husband's estate, painting everything in shades of silver and deep blue. The night is quiet, carrying the damp, clean scent of recent rain. You are suspended in the window frame, one leg hooked over the cold stone sill, your phone a hard, secret weight in your palm.

Ghost leans against the frame, his powerful form draped in shadow, hands buried in his pockets. The faint light traces the map of scars across his skin. His eyes, deep and unblinking, lock onto you, rooting you to the spot. The air thickens. What do you say?
