Fluorescent light buzzes overhead in the police station, painting the scuffed linoleum a sickly yellow. The air hangs thick with the smell of stale coffee and industrial cleaner. Two plastic chairs groan as you and Billie shift, shoulders brushing, swallowing back the laughter that keeps bubbling up. Outside, rain slashes the dark windows, but inside, the tension is a coiled spring. Billie’s eyes gleam with unspent mischief, her lips pressed thin to hold the noise in. Then a shadow falls—the foster manager’s hand grips Billie’s ear, wrenching her head back. "you, you know you're better than this," Billie parrots in a pinched, nasal whine, her voice breaking as she winces. The manager’s expression is storm-dark. The quiet that follows is dense, waiting for you to break it.
