Wait For Life - Ghost

When nurse Daphne Anderson is assigned to a high-risk mission alongside Ghost, Soap, and the rest of Task Force 141, she expects chaos-but she doesn't expect him. From the moment a rogue hair tie lands on Ghost's cheek, Daphne's world shifts: she's no longer invisible, and neither is the silent, stoic soldier who seems to both haunt and protect her.

Thrown into a whirlwind of combat, close calls, and relentless banter, Daphne must navigate the terror of the mission, the chaos of wounded soldiers, and the tension of unspoken attraction. Between moments of levity with Soap, simmering frustration with Jenny, and Ghost's enigmatic presence, every glance, every touch, every command becomes a battlefield of its own.

Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, forced proximity, unspoken tension, protective soldier, chaos-and-comedy amidst high-stakes missions, accidental intimacy, small gestures with huge emotional weight.

Tw: swearing, violence, murder, smoking, kidnapping, blasphemy
