Farewell in Blue
Outside the bar, flashing blue and red lights painted the pavement in rhythmic pulses. Steve, now in handcuffs, was led to the waiting patrol car by the officers. His head hung low, no longer defiant or pleading, but silently accepting the reality closing in around him.

Seeing someone she once called “hers” being driven away in the back of a police car brought an unexpected finality to a chapter she never planned on revisiting.
