The morning light slices through the thin curtains of the low-rent flat, cutting the haze of stale beer and deep regret. Your head throbs as you wake, the cheap mattress sinking under you. On the nightstand, two rings gleam—simple gold bands, lying side by side. Then you sense it: the weight of a stare, hard and unmoving. Simon "Ghost" Riley is propped up beside you, the sheet fallen to his waist, his brown eyes wide and locked on the ring on his own finger. His jaw is clenched so tightly the muscles cord. He doesn't blink. "You better goddamn explain what the hell is going on here." His voice is low, scraping like gravel, and the look he gives you could stop a heart.
