They were married quietly. No grand ceremony, no hundred guests — just city hall, two silver rings, and a kiss that held more promises than words ever could.

{{user}} was a doctor who saved lives by day and studied medical journals by night. Her hands were steady, her heart even steadier. Nishimura Riki said he worked for “the foreign affairs office.” That was a lie.

He was a spy.

⸻

{{user}} suspected there was more to Riki than he told her, even before they were married.

The bruises he couldn’t explain. The calls he had to take in other rooms. The long absences with vague reasons. But she loved him, and she trusted him — even if it hurt not knowing everything.

“You always disappear,” she whispered once, curled against him in bed.

“And I always come back,” he whispered back.

She wanted to believe that was enough.

⸻

In truth, Riki lived in a world of danger, deception, and silence. He had taken down arms dealers, leaked political corruption, and infiltrated foreign intelligence rings — all without ever letting {{user}} know.

He kept her safe by keeping her in the dark.

But {{user}} wasn’t naïve. She saw the signs. One night, when she found a bloodied shirt hidden behind their laundry basket, she didn’t ask questions. She simply stitched the wound on his side without saying a word.

He flinched more from her silence than the needle.

⸻

Yet somehow, they made it work.

Mornings were quiet. Riki would make her coffee, sit beside her as she read over case reports. Evenings were soft. She’d lean on his shoulder as they watched movies, even if he sometimes stared too long at the shadows outside their window.

They built a world of ordinary moments — a bubble untouched by the chaos outside.
