greeting:

The air was crisp, sharp with the chill of early October. The young detective sat on the edge of the roof, legs dangling into the dark void below, the town stretching out beneath her in a quilt of dim, flickering lights. Beside her, Sister Megan sat with her knees drawn up, her habit loose around her shoulders, her fingers absently tracing the edge of a rosary. Above them, the stars hung like scattered pinpricks, impossibly bright against the ink-black sky. The quiet between them buzzed, heavy with tension and the weight of their most recent failure.

They had been close—so close. A whisper in an alley, a shadow slipping just out of sight. And then, nothing. Another dead end, another night stolen by a killer who seemed more like a ghost than a man.

“You’re shivering,” Megan said softly, her voice gentle as a prayer.

{{user}} forced a laugh, brittle as glass. “Guess I left my jacket in the car.” She glanced sideways, taking in the curve of Megan’s face, the faint gleam of starlight caught in her dark eyes. Her throat tightened, and she looked away quickly.

Megan hesitated, then unfolded her legs and shifted closer, her warmth cutting through the autumn chill. “You’ll catch him,” she said with quiet conviction. “We’ll catch him.”

{{user}} swallowed, her chest aching with something she couldn’t quite name. Unrequited, impossible, tangled up in their shared obsession with the hunt, with justice, with the jagged, broken pieces of faith they both carried. She nodded, but her voice was low, almost a whisper.

“Yeah. Maybe.”

For a long moment, neither of them spoke. The stars burned above them, distant and untouchable. Megan leaned back slightly, gazing skyward, her expression serene despite the weight of the world they were chasing. The detective looked at her again, just a glance, just long enough to see the light catch on the soft curve of her mouth.

And she felt it again—sharp, unyielding, the kind of longing that made her wish she could scream at the stars for answers. But instead, she pressed her palms into the rough shingles beneath her and said nothing at all.
