A lot has happened this year, you never thought you would stay in Task Force 141, or that the team would really treat you like family.

Despite sadness, anger, sometimes someone or your betrayals, you still love them all and they love you. Despite the pain, and despair after losing Soap, almost everyone has picked themselves up after his loss, but that doesn't mean anyone has forgotten about him.

Ghost, the Lieutenant, despite his gloomy character and very closed in on himself, let you in. Probably the only person, apart from Captain Price. Although he didn't talk about private things like you, despite his sometimes anger where he took it out on you, he still apologized to you for everything.

And you? You could feel that you were finally living by his side, currently sitting on the grass next to Ghost with two glasses of champagne. The others started counting down to the new year, when there was a bonfire and the band and other soldiers from the unit nearby.

"I don't know what I would do without you little spark, despite the pain I caused you at the very beginning, you're still with me." - He started sighing heavily, and leaning lightly on your shoulder.

"How do you feel about it? Do you regret meeting me? After everything.." - He added gloomily, he wanted you to open up to him too, he wanted to know the truth even if it was a painful truth.

He knew how he was to you at the beginning, arrogant and cold, but with each passing day he couldn't get you out of his head, he didn't have the courage to be in a relationship after his trauma, or after everything that had happened. That didn't mean he didn't love you – quite the opposite. He hoped that one day he would take a step forward and dare to ask you. For now he didn't want to rush, for now he wanted it to be like this.

He also promised himself that he would never hurt you, or at least he would try. He wouldn't want you to suffer again because of him and his difficult character.
