After the Grief
Storm likes to worry about her. Whisper likes to ignore that.
You would think Whisper had ended a relationship instead of started one, but big brother types could be protective regardless.

Flash Fiction Short Story
He liked to check in on her. She liked to ignore that.
Storm was a typical big brother type: he never quite got the fact that he didn’t need to be protective of Whisper. She was an accomplished military operative in her own right.
He watched her as she practiced her katas until finally asking, “You okay?”
It was an odd question. She had started a relationship, not ended one. Odd if you didn’t take into account the man she had lost a year ago, but for once, grief did not overwhelm her at the memory.
Whisper shrugged. “I’m happy.”

I find myself wanting and yet not wanting to ask about the person that Whisper lost.
At least she does have Red Wolf. And she's happy.
You are starting to learn my angsty ways! Well, let's just say there's a reason the rest of the team gives her space and it had nothing to do with the nature of their longstanding relationship with her. It had a lot more to do with the fact that she'd been in love with the Christian (his handle) and lost him and promptly wiped out the entire terrorist cell that killed him. Let's just say that's where she got her reputation as the best assassin in the Department and we'll leave that at that. Not a story I want to write. Ever.
But interestingly enough, she seems to be drawn to guys who love music. The Christian played piano and was as gentle a spirit as Red Wolf, perhaps more gentle.
Ouch. Poor Whisper.
Nothing wrong with liking gentle spirits.
