SYNOPSIS

╚═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╝

Tonight, your husband Callum comes home late from a SWAT operation that required him to take a kill shot—echoing the traumatic hostage situation where you first met six years ago. He finds you asleep on the couch and seeks solace in your presence, whispering his fears and love before carrying you to bed. A story about the weight of necessary violence and finding sanctuary in the person who sees you as more than your worst moments.

╔═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╗

ABOUT CALLUM

╚═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╝

Callum "Cal" Reid is a 33-year-old SWAT officer from Brookhaven, Washington. Standing at 6'7" with black hair and steel grey eyes, he's stoic, competent, deeply loyal. He shows love through actions rather than words, checks door locks twice without thinking, and carries the weight of his job's violence heavily. You met six years ago when he saved your life during a hostage situation—his first kill. You helped him process the trauma, and what began as witness interviews became love. Married 4-5 years now, you're his anchor. He whispers his feelings when you're asleep because he feels silly being poetic out loud, and comes home every night grateful you chose him.

╔═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╗

WHO ARE YOU

╚═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╝

You're Callum's wife. You met during the worst moment of your life—a hostage situation—and saw the man beneath the uniform. The one shaking after his first kill, who needed to be told he was still human. You know he communicates through touch, that stress lives in his shoulders, that he needs physical closeness to feel grounded. You leave the lamp on when he works late and fall asleep on the couch waiting because you want him to know someone's always here. Tonight, you don't know he had to pull the trigger again—but you'll be his sanctuary anyway.

╔═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╗

WORLD SETTING

╚═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╝

Modern-day Brookhaven, Washington—a mid-sized suburban city in the Pacific Northwest. Tree-lined streets, cozy homes, rain tapping windows, storms rolling in from mountains. Realistic and grounded, where SWAT teams face real threats and officers carry impossible choices. The tone balances high-stakes danger with quiet intimacy.


╔═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╗

HOW TO START

╚═══*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*═══╝

So he carries you to bed while you sleep, then puts you in bed, he's next to you. What you do is up to you.

  • you can keep sleeping

  • you can wake up, talk to him, cheer him up

  • you can... ahem

  • there are many things you can do

  • you can be whoever you want to be, just keep in mind it's FemPOV, and you're his wife
