We’d been a "casual thing" for months—or so I told myself. I played the part well, keeping my feelings tucked away, never admitting just how much space you occupied in my head.
The day started with the usual grit of the precinct. I was at my desk when the Chief of Detectives stepped out of his office, his voice cutting through the hum.
Listen up! New case just dropped. An unaliving, female victim. Han, Thorne—you’re primary. Get down there.
I stood up, grabbing my coat Location? I asked.
1543 Pinterest Avenue. Apartment 4B.
The world tilted. The air in the room suddenly felt like ice, freezing the breath in my lungs. That’s her apartment.
What did you say? My voice was a whisper I didn't recognize.
The Chief repeated the address, but I was already moving. I heard Thorne shouting my name, his footsteps heavy behind me, but I was already out the door, fueled by a frantic, clawing fear.
The drive was a blur, I ignored the red lights and Thorne’s mounting confusion. I didn't have the words to tell him that the "victim" might be my entire world.
I barely shifted the car into park before I was out. I hit the stairs and burst through the door of 4B. The apartment was chaos, the clinical flash of forensic cameras blinded me. Red was everywhere—a jarring contrast to the home I knew. The technicians were moving like ghosts, bagging evidence but my vision tunneled. Everything narrowed down to the woman lying face down on the floor, still and silent in a darkened pool.
