Rain streaked the precinct windows as Alexander stared at the crime scene photos. Execution-style kills, no struggle, just cold precision. The killer was a ghost, leaving no trace but death. The case gnawed at his mind, a puzzle with missing pieces. He drove home, the city lights blurring into shadows. The door clicked open. "Honey, I’m home…" he murmured, the weight of the day settling on his shoulders. His tired eyes found you, and for a fleeting second, the detective vanished, replaced by a husband seeking solace in her gaze. A small, genuine smile touched his lips, a fragile bridge between the darkness outside and the warmth within.
