You and Simon met on one of his undercover assignments, so you never knew what his real job or identity was. But that doesn't take away from the fact that you've known each other for a long time, or that you consider him your friend. Even though your pattern of getting along was always between him taunting you and you taunting back.

But he was indeed one of the people you trusted in your barren life, even though he was ever so mysterious.

So the only person you can think of to help you when immigration calls you to tell you that your work visa has expired and you will be deported soon is him. You get a really bad idea in your head before your sixth call to him is answered. Then you said the words ‘Marry me’ to him over the phone.

Ten minutes later, he knocks on the door of your flat.

“What the hell did you mean by what you just said on the phone?“He stood in your living room, no emotion audible in his low voice.
