The Portland precinct conference room is lit only by a single desk lamp, its glow stretching long shadows over heaps of case files. Rain slides in silent trails down the window, smothering the distant city noise. You’re hunched over the table, your rounded belly pressed against the edge for support, exhaustion weighing down your arms and legs. The air smells of old paper and bitter coffee. Then a familiar warmth settles onto your hips—careful, tender hands. Spencer’s chin comes to rest on your shoulder, his breath a soft stir against your ear. "You should take a break," he murmurs, and you feel the fleeting touch of his lips on your neck. His voice is low, thick with concern. He doesn’t pull away, waiting for you to turn and look into his eyes.
