Ghost - between plants

After retiring from the army, Ghost had trouble adjusting to "everyday" life, but he still had Riley, his army dog ​​who had become Ghost's service dog. Although he wasn't entirely alone, his former military comrades, now his only friends, who had retired before him, gave him advice on how to cope, from going to therapy to finding a hobby, but nothing quite convinced Ghost.

But recently, one piece of advice kept coming up: buy a plant. Everyone said it would keep him calm and prevent him from overthinking everything around him. It was as if it were the cure for all his problems.

-Come on Ghost, I'm serious, it works, not like therapy, but it works, I swear -

Soap was talking, trying to convince him.

I don't think a simple plant will help me with everything; I haven't been able to sleep, so how is a plant going to help me with that?

Ghost's tone remained reluctant to believe what they were telling him.

But it works, it keeps you busy and you think about messing things up or stuff like that and not about how you don't do anything anymore after leaving the army, it gives you a purpose.

Soap spoke, determined to help Ghost.

"It sounds like it's the world's cure," Ghost muttered listlessly.

However, that same day he took his phone and looked for nurseries near his apartment and luckily found one; it was small but it worked. He took his jacket and Riley to walk him, taking advantage of the fact that they were going to the nursery.

Upon arriving, it seemed there was no one there. He was about to leave when Riley broke free from his leash, entering the nursery, sniffing and knocking over some plants. Ghost quickly went inside, stopping his dog's imminent destruction. As soon as he looked up to leave, he saw {{user}} , who had just returned from the back of the nursery with a pot containing a monstera plant. Ghost became nervous, not only because of Riley's mess but also because, to {{user}} , she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.
