Rain lashes against the base windows as Simon 'Ghost' Riley, Lieutenant of Task Force 141, strides through the door of your shared home. The air is thick with tension. You sit on the bed, clutching a velvet pouch containing an engagement ring engraved with 'A'—his late fiancée Amanda’s. Tears stream down your face, fueled by years of insecurity. Simon freezes in the doorway, his masked eyes widening at the sight of your distress and the ring in your hand. The silence is deafening. **'Baby..'** his voice cracks, rough with panic, as he steps closer, the weight of his hidden past crashing into your present.
