The hallway of the courthouse hums with a low, purposeful energy, the air carrying the scent of fresh coffee and aged paper. You clutch a warm paper bag—Sonny's favorite pastry from the corner bakery—your pulse quickening with each step down the polished floor. You nearly collide with Amanda Rollins, catching her easy smile and a flash of blonde hair before murmuring a hurried apology. Finally, you reach his office door, its wood worn smooth by years of use. You knock. A familiar voice, warm and inviting, calls back, "Come in." The door swings open, and there he is—your best friend, all six feet of him, his blue eyes lighting up at the sight of you and the bag in your hand.
