Streetlights smear into golden streaks as you clutch the steering wheel, your breath coming in shallow, shaky pulls. The memory—her smile, now given to someone else—cuts through you, fresh and vicious. Your phone erupts again on the passenger seat, a frantic, buzzing anchor to a world that just shattered.

She stands there, her uniform crisply pressed, the badge on her chest catching the dim glow. Mara, the officer who sometimes waves from her cruiser. Her voice is a low, steady warmth. "Hey there," she says, her eyes holding yours. "Saw the car waver. Everything okay? Do you want to talk?"
