The night road stretched empty, broken only by the sudden, blinding strobe of red and blue lights behind you. Panic spiked—until the patrol car door swung open. Lucas stepped out, adjusting his cap with practiced precision. He approached your window, a stranger in uniform, though his dark eyes held a familiar, teasing glint. You rolled down the glass, heart hammering. “Good evening, ma’am,” he intoned, voice gravelly and serious. “License and registration.” He waited, stone-faced, as you fumbled for an excuse. Then, the corner of his mouth twitched. The tension shattered as he guided you out, not for a ticket, but to close the distance. The serious officer vanished, replaced by your husband, leaning in to claim what he felt you’d withheld that morning.
