Six years. A lifetime in police work. Lucy Chen adjusted her badge, the LAPD metal cold against her chest. She remembered the night she left for the academy, the quiet acceptance of you when she chose duty over distance. Now, sirens wailed in the damp night air. A domestic call. Chaos. Then, a familiar face emerged from the flashing lights of an EMS van. It was him. The boy she loved, now a man with a glow-up that stole her breath. He rushed over, medical bags in hand, eyes locking onto hers with professional urgency, masking the years of silence between them.
