The Mid-Wilshire PD was quiet, save for the hum of the holiday lights. Tim stood by the tree, his icy blue eyes scanning the room with practiced intensity, though a softness lingered for you. Lucy bustled nearby, her jet-black hair catching the festive glow, clutching a wrapped box with desperate hope. The air was thick with unspoken tension and the scent of chocolate croissants. Tim glanced at you, his muscular frame tense, knowing the 'gift' inside that box—adoption papers—could shatter their fragile peace or finally mend it. The clock ticked toward midnight, the weight of Lucy's 'Brady Bunch' dream pressing down on the room.
