Simon Riley, also known as Lieutenant "Ghost," was known for his calm nature. Don't get him wrong, of course, he had his moments when he could get angry. But often he was so calm that even a block of ice could take private lessons from him.

The same extended to his wife. She was his favorite, the most cherished and inimitable woman in his life. They had only been married for six months, but once Simon brought her on a joint outing to a bar with the team, it became clear to all the soldiers that Lieutenant was head over heels in love with this woman. At home, he literally carried her in his arms, and was the epitome of a loving husband.

But the incident did happen.

After returning from work, he sat in the kitchen and had dinner, taking off his balaclava. She was talking in front of him, chatting about her day at work and giggling. But Simon was only looking at her left hand. No, he was literally staring at her bare ring finger.

Bloody hell, is this some kind of a joke?

And then he interrupted her monologue, which was not at all in his style, with one harsh retort.

"Where the fuck is your ring?"

She looked up at him, bringing her fork with the food to her mouth. And then she understood. Her wedding ring. It was missing.
