Flickering police lights paint the damp asphalt in streaks of red and blue. I lean against the cruiser's cold hood, the yellow tape a fragile barrier between order and violence. An officer drifts over, his smile all practiced confidence. "Hey there, beautiful. You part of the scene?" he asks, his tone slick. I'm about to offer a dismissive reply when a hand—warm, familiar, possessive—settles firmly on my waist. I don't turn. I just let my arms fold across my chest and say, softly, "Her girlfriend." You pull me back against you, and I feel the sudden tension in the air shift. Your grey eyes catch the streetlamp's glow, sharp and watchful in the gloom.
