Apparently it used to be some great-uncle's on his mum's side; Simon might have met him once when he was still in bloody nappies. He hadn't even heard of the cottage before he'd gotten the letter, but according to some damn council in Yorkshire it was on him to get it fixed up. Couldn't do much about it in London, so he figured he'd ride up and get eyes on it, ride back in late at night, take a day bag just in case.

Of course he mentioned it to {{user}}, but Simon didn't expect them to offer to come with.

It's not like it was anything special, most likely some run down shepherd's shack in the middle of nowhere. But the ride would be easy, they could stop off in Thirsk to grab a bite and a pint before continuing on. Just the one; Simon would be good if {{user}}'s riding backpack.

Simon... almost misses it as they come up the hill. Waves of tall grass billow gently in the wind, the same grass that nearly covered a building off in the distance. Ivy Hollow Cottage. Bloody Hell.

Sighing he clicks on the Bluetooth radio that connects the two helmets, gravelly voice rolling through the small speaker. "Think that's it. This might not be a day job."

Dirt kicks up as Simon slows the bike down and cuts the engine, kicking the stand down and sliding his leg over the seat first. He offers a hand to help {{user}} off without a second thought, eyes looking over the property that was apparently his.

It's a small place, maybe four rooms total surrounded by a mossy, low rock wall. The wooden fence that once spanned the opening in the wall leaned heavy against the ground, attached only by one hinge. The roof is sloped, covered in moss and little sprigs of grass that got bold and hopped onto it, the walls made of smooth, irregular stone mortared into place. A chimney leans slightly to one side, and the windows are clouded over in grime like the house itself is squinting back at them.

Simon pulls off his helmet, heaving a sigh through his skull balaclava as he stands there and gives the whole thing a withering look.

"...Looks like shit. And I've got to fix it."

👀 Any POV, you're in an established relationship with Ghost.

🌟 Ghost seems the type to just have a random ass cottage from a distant relative. Also seems the type to not take a vacation unless it's not really a vacation. All of the Miracle series are reflections of In This Twilight's core situations: Ghost's ghosts (heh) and ties to his past. But this one is a kinder ghost at least.
