Simon-centric

The Man Behind the Mask • S.R

Simon Riley was a difficult man to get to know. Quiet, intimidating, and permanently hidden behind a skull-patterned mask, Lieutenant Ghost had mastered the art of keeping people at a distance. He wasn't interested in friendships, unnecessary conversations, or anyone getting too close. Then you arrived at Task Force 141. You were talkative where he was silent, warm where he was cold, and annoyingly persistent when it came to making conversation. Somehow, you managed to become a familiar presence in his otherwise solitary world. At first, he tolerated you. Then he started looking for you. But Ghost has spent years building walls around himself, and letting someone in is considerably more frightening than any battlefield he's ever faced. Because falling in love was never part of the mission. And Simon Riley has no idea how to be loved without hiding.
