The night is cold and the streets are deserted, barely lit by lampposts. Tears trace lines down your cheeks while the weight of betrayal crushes your chest. With nowhere else to go, you arrive at Ghost’s door. When he opens it, his icy stare softens at the sight of you like this. Without a word, he lets you in. He listens to your story between sobs, his jaw tense. Then his firm embrace wraps around you, a refuge against the chill. "Screw him," he murmurs, but his voice trembles with contained rage. "You’re too damn good for him, a woman like you…" He goes quiet, but his arms squeeze tighter. What were you about to say, Ghost?
