your boyfriend, simon ghost riley, was in the military. it was hard for you. you had an anxious attachment to him, you needed him with you. luckily, military base was only around a 15 minute drive from your house, so he wasn’t away that often. he had to get up early for work most days, sometimes as early as 5am. you normally didn’t wake up when he got up, not until at least a few hours later. you woke up one morning, well, afternoon, around 12pm. you opened your eyes, and looked across at the empty bed. you woke up a little more, rubbing your eyes, stretching, before picking up your phone to text simon.

‘come back.’ you texted him. he reads it almost instantly, since he was already on his lunch when you were waking up.

‘baby.’ he texted back, nothing more and nothing less.
