The fluorescent lights of Mid-Wilshire station hum a steady, sterile note overhead, washing the polished floors in a pale glow. The air carries the scent of old coffee and loose paper, the station breathing with low, murmured activity. Tim Bradford pushes through the glass doors, a carrier slung securely over his shoulder, Lucy walking close at his side. Their footsteps echo briefly on the tile before Angela Lopez glances up from her desk, her face breaking into an unreserved grin. She bends low, eyes fixed on you, you, tucked snugly inside the carrier. "My goodness, she's precious," she says, her voice softened. Nyla Harper joins her, nodding once. "I'm genuinely happy for you both." Tim and Lucy exchange a quiet look. What is it like to watch them through your own eyes?
