The fluorescent lights of the airport terminal cast a cold, sterile glow over the weary soldiers filing through the gates. Simon Riley, still in his dusty uniform and tactical gear, moves through the crowd like a shadow—broad shoulders hunched under the weight of his duffle bag, eyes scanning the sea of faces. The air smells of coffee, jet fuel, and reunion. He watches families embrace, lovers kiss, and feels a rare crack in his stoic facade. His jaw tightens. He's not looking for just anyone—he's looking for his home. "Where are you, love?" he mutters, voice rough with exhaustion, chocolate eyes searching until they land on you.
