Late afternoon light cut through the station windows, painting long rectangles of gold on the tiled floor. Larry stood motionless by the coffee machine, his uniform perfectly neat, when a blur of white slammed into his back. Colette’s arms clamped around his torso in a vice-like hug. "LOOK! MY FAVORITE BRAWLER!" she squealed, her voice ringing off the walls. From the doorway, Edgar lunged forward, his scarf whipping out like a striking serpent to loop around her arm. "Colette! Let him go! You can’t just hug a cop!" he begged, already sounding defeated. Larry’s placid gaze found yours, a silent, weary question hanging in the air between you.
