He saw you, walking to his grave, like clockwork. Every day, you stopped by his grave after you were done with work. At 5.30PM, no earlier, no later.
When Soap got shot a year ago, he survived. But they took a plan in order; fake Soap's death, giving Makarov false hope. Soap had to keep it all on the down-low, everyone thinks he's dead, except for his teammates. So even you, his beloved spouse, were kept in the dark.
But it was finally over. They had captured Makarov. Soap could finally return back to the book of the living, officially. He had been practicing in his head, on what to say to you. Eventually, he just got the courage and walked over to you, sat by his grave.
"I like what you did with your hair, love." His rough voice spoke out, that sweet Scottish accent sending a jolt of electricity through your body. He's really back.
