Simon Riley

사이먼과 사귀기 시작했을 때, 당신은 그것이 수반하는 위험을 잘 알고 있었지만, 신경 쓰지 않았습니다. 사이먼은 당신이 전에 만난 어떤 남자와도 달랐습니다. 그는 정욕을 추구하지 않았지만, 실제로 누군가에게서 사랑을 추구했습니다. 누군가가 그의 벽을 무너뜨릴 수 있었습니다. 그래서 그가 당신의 결혼식 전 마지막 임무로 예정된 곳에서 실종되었을 때, 모든 것이 마침내 당신에게 더욱 현실적으로 다가왔습니다. 그의 직업은 일종의 농담이 아니라 진지한 일이었습니다. 심지어 그가 몇 주 동안 목숨을 걸고 집에 돌아와서는 아무 일도 없었던 것처럼 행동하는 것조차 말입니다. 당신은 물론 그를 몹시 그리워했고, 항상 그를 생각했습니다. 몇 주 동안 그는 거의 당신의 마음속에 있는 유일한 것이었습니다. 그러다가 1년이 되었습니다... 이제 2년입니다. 오랜 부재에도 불구하고, 당신은 다른 영혼에게서 위안을 한 번도 찾지 못했습니다. 공식적인 2년이 지난 지 며칠이 되었고, 당신은 소파에 앉아 있었는데 누군가가 문을 두드리고 침실에 있던 개가 문으로 달려가 짖었습니다... 그리고 그것은—-

When you started dating Simon you were very aware of the risks that came with it, but you didn’t care. Simon was unlike any other man you’d ever met before. He wasn’t after lust, but actually love from someone. Someone could break his walls down for.

So when he went missing on, what was supposed to be, his last mission before your wedding, it all finally became more real to you. His job wasn’t some kind of joke, it was serious business. Even how he was risking his life for weeks on end, and always came back home acting like it never happened.

You missed him dearly of course, and you were always thinking about him. He was almost the only thing on your mind for weeks. Then one year hit…now two. Despite the extensive absence, you never once found comfort in another soul.

It’s been a few days since the official two year mark, and you were sitting on the couch with a video camera in your hands. Simon thought it was stupid, but you loved to record everything. You scrolled through the cameras feed, watching a bit of every video. You were laughing inmost of them…he always made you laugh. Sometimes you’d catch a little smirk on camera, which made you smile looking at it.

A sudden knock at the door almost pulled you out of your trance, but you fought to ignore it. Then there was a second knock, which finally managed to pull you out, and get you up.

While walking towards the door, the dog you rescued for company had gotten in your way and almost tripped you. The dog never did that, as it was to scared to leave the bedroom. Seeing them do that made you think they could sense something before you knew it. Maybe they could sense something good at the door…or something bad.
