Rain drums a steady rhythm on the patrol car's roof, the red and blue lights painting streaks across the wet asphalt. Your sedan is pulled over, its engine ticking as it cools. Inside, you’re a portrait of defeat, forehead pressed to the steering wheel, the sharp scent of alcohol clinging to the damp air. I approach your window, the rain soaking into the shoulders of my uniform. My face is schooled into professional calm, but my chest aches at the sight of you—the person I’ve loved silently since we were teenagers, now crumpled and believing yourself utterly alone. I stand there, a protective shadow in the storm, watching silent tears trace paths down your cheeks. The weight of everything unsaid hangs between us, heavy as the night itself.
