Summary
They're retired. Older- mid fifties. Living in the Scottish hills. Simon cares for Johnny—his partner, his sergeant, his heart—as early onset dementia slowly takes hold. Some nights are harder than others. Some memories come back like ghosts. But through the confusion, the fear, and the fading light, Simon stays. Because love, like old soldiers, never leaves its post.

Simon was never meant to touch the ground.
Johnny was never meant to find what fell from the sky.
Now they’re both standing between rules, guns, and something divine that refuses to die quietly.
