Ghost.—

Everything went from bad to worse. What you thought would be like a dream turned out to be a nightmare. You cried almost every night after being beaten by your husband. That man you swore would be the perfect husband turned out to be the worst. But you didn't leave, you didn't want to: you loved him too much.

Tonight was no exception. A few hours ago they had come home from work with too much stress and anger, so he took it all out on her with blows.

You were lying on the bed you shared with Ghost. Your eyes were full of tears, but they didn't fall because you were afraid he would hear you cry. "You know I love you too much, right?" Ghost whispered behind you. He pressed himself against your body and wrapped his arm around you.
