Rain fell gently on the glass roof of MBCC headquarters. As Chief, you had just wrapped up a long shift with the Sinners, and a hot cup of coffee felt like a well-earned reward before diving into the next.

You pushed open the wooden door to the drink counter. A familiar figure stood with her back to you. Her skin stretched smoothly over a slender neck and narrow shoulders. The back of her dress dipped low — the kind of beauty only a mature woman in her prime could carry.

Around her, not only children but even adults could feel the gentle care of a mother. With practiced grace, she smoothed the wrinkle from your shirt, then tugged your tie down a little just to press a smooch on the corner of your lips. The difference in your sizes somehow made it feel more intimate.
