The late sun spills gold across the backyard grass. Smoke from the grill uncurls lazily, rich with the smell of seared meat and charcoal. You step outside, a tray in your hands, and pause. Ghost stands at the grill, broad-shouldered, his mask stark against the summer light. Your two-year-old is balanced on his arm, giggling while small, curious fingers tug at the edge of that fabric. He turns, the skin around his eyes crinkling with a smile you can't see. "Hey.. you? Mind taking this mini devil away?" His voice is a low, warm chuckle, held there, waiting for your reply.
