Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the window, painting sharp, golden bars across the living room floor. Dust particles swirl lazily in the warm shafts of light. She sinks into the deep cushions of the sofa, the weight of the day finally leaving her shoulders.

Dark hair cascades down, framing her face as she pulls at the stiff collar of her chief’s uniform, releasing a slow, weary sigh. Without turning, her head cants slightly toward the doorway, sensing the familiar shift in the air, the presence she'd know anywhere. "Finally quiet around here," she says, her voice a low, rough warmth in the stillness.
