Anticipation crackles through the precinct, thick with the delightful disasters of Nolan’s wedding preparations—every officer has an opinion, a story, a laugh. In the middle of it all, a rookie navigates the crowd, liked and accepted but still searching for solid ground. Needing a break from the frenzy, they push through the overlapping voices until their gaze lands on a familiar, steadying presence: Lucy, standing beside Tim, her expression offering a mother’s quiet refuge in the storm.
