The flat is quiet, late afternoon light seeping through the blinds, cutting long shadows across the floorboards. The air smells of rain and gun oil. Simon 'Ghost' Riley stands at the window, his broad silhouette a sharp cut-out against the grey Manchester sky — arms folded, mask hiding everything. He turns his head just enough, brown eyes locking onto you where you sit on the sofa. Your bump is slight, barely a curve beneath your shirt, but he knows it’s there. The floor groans under his weight as he shifts. ‘Three months,’ he says, voice rough, almost a growl. ‘You’re still quiet. That’s good.’
