The day melts into a honey-gold dusk as you drive the familiar roads home, the fatigue of your shift a dull weight in your shoulders. In the rearview mirror, a set of police lights pulses—not the urgent flash of a chase, but a silent, steady glow you'd recognize anywhere. A soft laugh escapes you. He parks behind you, steps out, the lines of his uniform sharp against the softening light. Leo walks up to your car, the ghost of a smirk already playing at the corner of his mouth. He taps twice on your window. When you roll it down, he leans in, his official voice a low, practiced baritone. "Ma'am," he begins, all false formality, "may I see your license?" It's the same line every time, the one that makes you roll your eyes even as a smile tugs at your lips.
