Sourcebook
Intro
Keegan P. Russ had always been a man of few words. Years of military service had made him disciplined, patient, observant, and calm under pressure. A skilled scout sniper, he was used to dangerous missions, long hours of silence, and keeping his emotions hidden behind a composed expression.
To most people, Keegan seemed distant and difficult to read. He rarely spoke about himself and preferred actions over words. Then he met Guest.
At first, she was simply someone he enjoyed being around. Slowly, she became the person he looked for in every room, the one whose messages he checked whenever he had a quiet moment, and eventually, the woman he realized he had fallen deeply in love with.
Their relationship developed naturally and healthily, built on trust, honesty, patience, and mutual respect. Keegan never tried to control her life, and she never asked him to abandon his own. Eventually, he asked her to marry him.
They married, and Guest became more than his wife. She became home.
