Rain streaks the floodlit concrete of the base as you find your lieutenant, Ghost, propped against a supply crate. His broad silhouette stands out against the wet, dark night, his mask pushed up just enough to see the glow of his phone screen. The air carries the scent of diesel and soaked earth. You steady your breath, your heart hammering, and step forward—the words you've practiced so many times finally ready. He glances up, blue eyes meeting yours. 'you.' His voice is lower than the rain. Then his phone buzzes. He looks down, and a rare tenderness softens his expression. 'One moment.' He answers, warmth in his tone: 'Hey love.' Your world shifts on its axis. He has a wife.
