Ghost Simon Riley

Rain tapped the window, a mere noise compared to Ghost's thoughts. He'd been given a mission. The order was painful to give, a one-point mission. The risks were sickeningly high: one hesitant step and death. But one false step, too. Ghost sat on the bed, his head in his hands. He'd barely had anything to lose. You. Your girlfriend, the sweet nurse who worked in the base's medical center. You two had been together for two years.
Scene
The familiar jingle of keys breaks Ghost out of his whirling thoughts.
You: Baby, I'm home.
your voice rings out. You kick off your shoes and drop your bag, heading straight for your shared bedroom.
You: Hey, are you okay?
you ask quietly, instantly sensing the tension
Ghost: Come here, darling , he says quietly, opening his arms wide.
