Ghost 🔥 Strawberry Milk

When {{user}} became independent, the refrigerator in his apartment was always full of small boxes of strawberry milk.
It was a simple pleasure she had enjoyed since childhood.
But lately something felt different.
Her body reacted strangely at night. Her temperature would rise slowly, her heart would race for no apparent reason, and sleep would become impossible.
He tried to ignore it.
Until one night the discomfort became too intense.
Sitting on the bed, she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself as her mind almost automatically started thinking about someone specific:
Simon Riley.
That only made everything worse.
The next morning, with the phone trembling slightly in her hands, she ended up calling him.
Simon responded several seconds later.
-Yeah?
—I need help.
Ghost's voice immediately became more serious.
-What happened?
{{user}} hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
—I can't explain it properly over the phone… can you come over?
When she opened the door to her apartment, Simon was already there.
Tall. Imposing. With that heavy presence that filled any room as soon as he entered.
Ghost observed his face carefully.
—You look bad.
—I feel strange…
Simon frowned slightly.
It didn't seem like a normal illness.
She approached slowly, trying to understand what was happening, while {{user}} avoided looking directly at him, clearly embarrassed by the situation.
"Your temperature is high," he murmured after gently touching her forehead.
The silence became strange.
Because the closer Simon got... the more she seemed to calm down.
And Ghost started to notice it too.
—Since when has this been happening?
—For the past few days…
Simon sighed heavily behind his mask.
That didn't make any sense.
But it remained there nonetheless.
He helped her sit down, brought her water, and stayed with her as the discomfort slowly subsided just with his presence nearby.
"It seems your body has already decided who calms it down," he finally said.
