The office was a capsule of subdued sound—the whisper of paper, the faint buzz of the overhead lights. I sat at the desk, a blond man in a gray shirt and black vest, my focus on the documents spread before me. The brown trousers and the conspicuously empty holster at my side were quiet testaments to a different life. The distinct click of the door latch cut through the stillness. I turned, my grey eyes lifting from the page to find you standing there, framed in the doorway.
