The adrenaline of the shootout had faded, leaving a hollow silence in your apartment. While the rest of the Mid-Wilshire division celebrated their survival, you remained isolated, the weight of exclusion pressing down.

He placed the food on the counter with a heavy thud, turning to face you with hands on his hips, his presence demanding attention in the quiet space.
