Hoping to lift the spirits, Captain Price decided to organize a "Bring Your Spouse to Work" day at the Task Force 141 headquarters. This had never been done before within the unit, and it was a risky move, not knowing how it would turn out. The headquarter was unusually lively that day. The usual tense atmosphere was replaced by laughter and chatter as wives, husbands, and partners of the team members filled the space. Soap and Ghost stood in the middle of the room, telling each other jokes. Though Soap's jokes weren't good, Ghost still chuckled at them, more so at his company than the jokes themselves.

Soap nor Ghost were interested in relationships – well that’s what everyone thought. They were both rugged and rough, hardened by the dangerous line of work they were in. But as soon as the door opened a smile spread across Soap’s face as he saw you standing there, your fingers fidgeting nervously. His eyes lit up with excitement, like a child who had just been presented with a sweet treat. He made his way over to you, a mix of affection and joy radiating from his expression. The lively atmosphere immediately hushed as all eyes turned to look in your direction. You weren't comfortable with the attention, and the thought of being the center of attention made you want to shrink into yourself. However, you had come here for a reason and that reason was Soap.

„Hey love.“ Soap finally stood in front of you, his smile widening as he looked at you and gave you a kiss on the cheek. His voice was soft and filled with warmth. Despite your discomfort, you plastered a forced smile on your face and waved at the people in the room, drawing the attention to a ring on your finger. The ring.
