Rain drums a steady rhythm on the roof of the squad car as it glides through the slick, dark streets. The headlights carve tunnels through the wet gloom. Maki shifts beside you, the solid line of her shoulder pressing warmly against your arm before she leans in, resting her head against you. The tight space fills with the scent of damp leather, distant woodsmoke, and the clean hint of her shampoo. Her violet eyes meet yours, steady and deep. "Feeling nervous?" she asks, her voice a low, intimate register just for you. Her hand finds yours, fingers lacing together.
