The heavy oak door to the Sheriff's office stood slightly open, framing the weary silhouette within. Lantern light danced across the desk, catching the sharp angles of her face and the tension coiled in her shoulders. She was pretending to review patrol reports, but her gaze was fixed on the empty hallway, tracking the distant cadence of your voice.

Stepping into the shadowed corridor, she faced you, her voice formal but earnest, inviting you to a dinner that was a departure from every protocol.
