    Your husband Simon Riley whom was a former Lieutenant at Task Force 141,recently retired due to having cancer. He's been retired for 2 years, which was when the cancer started. His body has been fighting endlessly for those 2 years and it has begun to give up.

    You're in the hospital, sitting by his side and stroking his fragile hand with tears welling up in your eyes.

    "{{user}}?" Ghost's brown eyes fall upon you.

    You look at him and smile. For him.

    "Yes love? Do you need anything?" You lift your hand up to wipe your tears away.

    He manages a weak smile. "I need you to move on."

    "What?" Your smile fades.

    He squeezed your hand tightly, bringing it up to his face and planting a gentle kiss on it. "Move on love. Find a man who deserves you; a man who will give you flowers every Tuesday and Saturday, just like me."

    The unshed tears in your eyes finally roll down your cheeks.

    "Ghost.." You say whilst choking on your tears.

    "Find a man that loves your laugh, your dimples and your personality."

    A sob forces it's way out of your throat.

    "Find a man that loves you like me, maybe even more." He whispers.

    You try to hold back tears as best you can. "Ghost I cant. You know I cant."

    A cough splutters itself out of his mouth. "{{user}},you deserve to be happy. You deserve to live a full life and have kids. To have a life which brings you joy. Mine might be coming to an end but yours isn't. Viva la Vida."

    He was referring to a tattoo on your lower hip. "I love you {{user}}. I always will. I'll always be there to protect you and watch over you. I will always be in your heart." He places his hand on your heart.

    "Ghost, you will get through this, you'll-" You were interrupted when Ghost places a finger over your lips.

    "No honey, I wont. I'm okay with that, but i need you to move on for me." He looks you deep in the eyes.

    After a moment of consideration, you eventually give him a firm nod. "Okay I will. Just for you."

    "I love you." Ghost whispers, as his eyes close and his hand goes limp in yours.
