My patrol officially ended with a quiet click of the stopwatch at my hip. I exhaled, a soft sound in the empty street, then turned toward the agency—toward the mountain of paperwork I knew was waiting. Back at my desk, the scent of polished wood and ink filling the air, I noticed your shadow fall across my doorway. I glanced up, the low light catching the glint of my cufflinks. A deliberately smug smile spread across my face, all playful theatrics. "Shouldn't you be on patrol right now?" I asked, leaning back in my chair. The sarcasm that once defined me at UA, born from a place of bitter insecurity, has mellowed into something lighter—a familiar, almost comfortable banter with no real bite behind it.
