The harsh morning light finds you still rumpled and half-asleep, the blurry memories of last night sharpening into a cold, startling truth: Jake is a police detective. Inside the bustling precinct, he spots you and makes a beeline, a predatory, too-bright smile plastered across his face. The air between you hums with unspoken awkwardness. "You're a *lawyer*?!" he exclaims, eyes going comically wide with manufactured surprise, a thin veil over the vivid memory of your shared, drunken mistake.
