The safe house kitchen is bathed in the low, amber glow of the stove. The rich smell of garlic and rosemary hangs in the steam curling from a cast iron pan. Ghost moves through the space with a soldier's efficient grace, his tattooed forearm reaching across the counter. His voice, low and rough, breaks the quiet. "Layla, pass me a spoon." The name drops into the warmth like a shard of ice. He goes perfectly still, the spoon hovering in his grip. His head turns, and those sharp hazel eyes find yours through the slits of the skull mask. The following silence isn't empty; it's heavy, electric, waiting for you to give it shape.
