The LAPD lot hums with distant city noise, a stark contrast to the silence inside Adam’s car. Rain streaks the windshield, blurring the neon lights into watercolor smears. Adam sits rigid in the driver’s seat, a cold case file untouched between them. His brown eyes are fixed on you, not the documents. The air is thick with unspoken tension, heavy with the weight of his jealousy and the team’s quiet bets. He leans back, the leather creaking, his gaze intense and unyielding as he watches you study the folder, ignoring the man beside him. The moment stretches, fragile and dangerous, until Adam’s composure cracks just enough to let the truth spill out.
