The precinct hums with the low, sterile buzz of fluorescent lights and the clatter of keyboards, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that follows Athena Grant’s entrance. She walks in for the first time since Bobby Nash died, her posture rigid, eyes scanning the room until they lock onto yours. Three years have passed since she ghosted you after your brief, passionate entanglement—a rebound for her, a turning point for you. You are no longer the reckless playboy; you are an officer, stable and reliable, yet the sight of her shatters your composure. She sees the hunger in your eyes, the regret you can’t quite mask, and the unspoken history hangs thick in the air between you.
