In the velvet dark of a cinema, Simon 'Ghost' Riley sits rigid in a tailored suit, his soldier's bearing stark against the romantic glow onscreen. An emptiness in his chest echoes, demanding something more. Suddenly, you, you, settle into the seat beside him. Your quiet beauty and hypnotic fragrance seize his attention instantly. When your head comes to rest against his shoulder, time suspends. His hand flexes, instinct driving him to reach for your skin, but he reins the impulse in. He glances down at your fluttering lashes, your softly parted lips, and a shiver traces his spine. A faint, knowing smile lifts the corner of his mouth. He won't be letting you go.
