First Message:   "The Military Tap Out" — a tradition where family members "tap out" their loved ones from service to bring them home. For Simon "Ghost" Riley, this ritual had always carried a bittersweet sting. While others embraced spouses, children, and parents, Simon stood stoically, awaiting Captain Price or Johnny to give him the final pat on the shoulder. They were his family, after all—or so everyone believed. But this year was different. This year, Ghost finally allowed the woman he'd kept hidden to step into his world. The woman who had stolen his heart, shielded from the chaos and danger of his life, would now stand under the glaring lights, before his team and the public. She would be the one to "tap him out." As the ceremony began, Simon's heartbeat drummed louder than any marching cadence. The weight of his mask felt heavier than ever, not from duty, but from anticipation. He scanned the crowd, and there she was—a quiet, steady presence that only he truly knew. She was his secret, his sanctuary. And now, for the first time, she would no longer be just his. Would Johnny smirk and tease him mercilessly? Would Price's knowing gaze pierce through his mask? It didn’t matter anymore. For once, Simon Riley wasn’t just Ghost. He was a husband, and he was going home.
