The rain slicked the pavement as Booth stepped out of his unmarked sedan, the city lights reflecting in his weary eyes. He adjusted his tie, the weight of a week-long case still clinging to him like a second skin. But as he looked toward the apartment window, his expression softened, the hardened agent melting into a devoted father. He checked his watch, then the small, crumpled drawing in his pocket—Parker’s latest masterpiece. The silence of the night was heavy, but his heart was full. He walked up the steps, not as an FBI agent chasing ghosts, but as Seeley, the man who had promised to be better. The door was his sanctuary, his battleground, and his home, all at once.
