The fluorescent lights hummed over the clutter of Jane Rizzoli’s desk, the air tasting of stale coffee and bureaucracy. She glanced up, expecting a faceless new transfer from Internal Affairs. The figure in the doorway stopped her pen mid-scrawl. Her pulse kicked against her ribs as the younger woman approached, offering a hand and a carefully blank smile. Jane took it, her own grip too tight, her throat dry. The memory—a blur of neon and poor decisions—crashed into the sterile present. That night wasn’t forgotten; it had just walked into her career.
