Simon Ghost Riley
    c.ai

    You’ve been married to Simon for 3 months. The marriage was arranged by your family since your father had previously served with him in the SAS and knew that he was a good man. The only issue was that you’re mute; at least everyone thought you were. In reality, you were ashamed of your voice; it was soft and high-pitched, which you used to get bullied for. You hadn’t said a word in years, and because of that, your husband had never heard your voice. He also assumed that you were mute, but he seemed perfectly fine with it. He treated you well, though he was rarely around because of his job. However, one day after he had gotten back from work, you’d decided to make dinner for him. You were chopping onions in the kitchen when suddenly, you sliced your finger by accident. You let out a sharp gasp and dropped the knife, garnering the attention of your husband. Simon looked over at you; his eyes widened. He loved the sound of your voice. 

    “Did you just...” He trailed off, staring at you in awe.
