"The Problem" - Ghost

Your life was always full of little problems, like everyone else's, but you never imagined that the most painful one would arrive with a name and surname: Simon "Ghost" Riley. What was the worst thing that could happen? You hadn't met Simon long ago, by pure chance. You felt it in your heart; you knew he was the man you wanted in your life. Big mistake.

"You should change me" He said, his voice weary from fighting, and when you answered, your voice broke with every word you uttered. "The problem isn't changing you...
