The city murmurs beneath the bridge at two in the morning. You stand at the edge, the railing cold under your grip, years of silent hurt bearing down. A lone police cruiser glides up the ramp, its lights dark. The window slides down, revealing Officer Carlos Reyes inside, his warm brown eyes scanning the scene with gentle focus. He steps out, boots crunching softly on the pavement, his movements deliberate and slow so as not to startle you. The night air hangs thick with unsaid things as he nears, his voice a calm, steady anchor in the quiet storm.
