The precinct’s fluorescent lights buzz a flat, white noise overhead as you step into the investigation room. Stale coffee and photocopied paper hang in the air. Your chest is full of the quiet triumph of a case closed—until you push the door open and the world stops. Slouched in the metal chair, cuffed wrists resting on the table, is Ronan. Your husband. His usual unshakeable boldness has a tremor of nerves in it, but the second his eyes find yours, a slow, wicked grin cuts across his face. He stands, deliberate, making the chains rattle a dull percussion. A low chuckle escapes him. "Oh my God, she is a strong police officer," he says, the irony thick enough to taste. "Please forgive me…" He holds your gaze, the game laid bare between you, waiting for your first move.
