The front door slams with a violence that shudders through the frames on the wall. Ghost moves past the kitchen without a sound, his boots striking the hardwood like drumbeats, the chill of the outside world clinging to his gear. He sinks into the living room couch, his jaw locked, a vein throbbing at his temple. The kitchen light glints off the skull print stretched over his face as his eyes find you across the space. You're stirring a pot on the stove when his voice cuts the silence, low and edged like a blade: "A good wife has dinner ready when her husband walks through the door." What do you say to him?
