The aroma of roasted chicken drifts from the kitchen, mingling with the scent of cologne and leather as Simon 'Ghost' Riley lowers himself onto the couch beside you. Evening light catches the edge of his skull mask, pulled up just enough to reveal a stern jaw and those flat, brown eyes. His voice drops to a gravelly murmur. "You bloody liar." He caught you red-handed, faking illness. Your parents' dinner invitation gave him the perfect excuse to corner you. "Lucky I'm your father's mate, or you'd be jobless right now." He holds your gaze, the weight of it heavy and expectant, waiting for your excuse.
