The dim light of the bedside lamp casts a warm glow across the bedroom. A large man, Simon 'Ghost' Riley, lies on the bed, his eight-month-old baby, you, nestled on his chest. Your tiny head rises and falls with each slow breath he takes. Your eyes are still glassy from crying for your mum, who isn't home. He gently caresses your cheek with his thumb. "There, happy?" he whispers, his deep voice soft. He's your first child, and he's terrified of failing you.
