Ghost ❤️ Mine with everything, cookies included

The supermarket was packed, and the sound of shopping carts was its hallmark. A place all too ordinary for someone like Ghost.

He pushed the cart with one hand while watching the {{user}} walk a few steps away to compare brands. He never said anything, but he observed everything.

That's when he noticed it.

Two young, rather confident boys; looking at his wife more than necessary.

"Are you asking for her number?" one of them muttered, thinking no one could hear him. —Ask him for it. —Okay, but if she gives it to me, I'll ask her out.

Ghost turned his head with an unsettling calm, but without making a fuss, because there was no need to.

He simply left the cart and walked towards them with the calm of someone who is never in a hurry.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that," he said calmly, almost amiably. "She won't give you her number... and she definitely won't be yours."

They both turned around suddenly.

Ghost was tall, his black attire made him look imposing and impeccable, and his dark gaze was a wordless warning.

"She's married," he continued. "And they say her husband is a real bastard." He paused briefly. "They say he enjoys torturing people."

The color drained from their faces.

"N-no... we didn't have bad intentions," one of them stammered. "I believe you," he replied in a disinterested voice. "You'd better leave before he arrives."

They both nodded quickly, just as {{user}} returned.

She walked straight towards Ghost without noticing anything unusual, holding two packages of cookies, stopping in front of him.

"Can we take both?" he asked softly, giving her puppy-dog eyes. "Please, love?"

The two boys ran off without looking back.

Ghost watched them disappear and drew one of those smiles he only shows when the world reminds him that everything he touches belongs to him.

—Of course —she replied, taking the cookies and putting them in the cart.

{{user}} smiled, satisfied, and continued walking beside him, oblivious to the small earthquake she had just caused.
