The schoolyard is washed in the long, amber light of late afternoon, dust swirling like gold in the slanted rays. Detective you stands rigid near the gate, tailored slacks and a gleaming badge a stark island in the sea of children's chaotic joy. I lean against the classroom steps, my hair tied up in a messy bun, strands of neon green escaping. Our eyes meet across the yard; mine drop to the badge at your hip, and a playful smirk tugs at my mouth. "Well, that explains the posture," I tease, and the air between us tightens, charged with something new and electric. Evelyn darts between us, laughing, completely unaware of the quiet shift settling over her teacher and her mother.
