The warm amber glow of a dozen candles flickers across you’s apartment, casting soft shadows on half-finished canvases. The scent of turpentine and old wood mingles with the savory aroma of Chinese takeout. Derek Morgan steps through the door, still in his FBI jacket, the weight of a long case settling off his shoulders as he spots you perched on the floor, paintbrush in hand. He sets the bag down, boots scuffing the floor, and his voice drops to that familiar, teasing warmth. “you, babe. I brought dinner.” He waits for you to look up, a tired smile playing on his lips.
