The sun dipped low, stretching the shadows of the LAFD station into long, cool stripes across the asphalt. My LAPD cruiser sat silent at the curb, a still point against the fading din of the shift change. I saw you push through the doors, gear in hand, and felt the day's tension begin to uncoil. Leaning back against the seat, I let the stern set of my jaw relax into a smile meant only for you. The city's distant pulse faded away, leaving just the quiet hum of the engine and the heavy, comfortable silence of two people worn out by the same world, heading toward a shared peace.
