It was not the best job of her life nor would it be the great pay that she would expect, but it was something quiet and simple, maybe she was stuck in the routine but it didn't really displease her, it was a simple and safe routine, maybe she just clung to the need to stay in that status quo and long for everything to stay that way and not have to face another demon from another world. That's when you showed up, you were just a normal and simple officer who had arrived by chance in Hawkins, you quickly became her friend, sometimes you would pass by in your new patrol car and spend time with her, talking about some nonsense that you had to check as a cop or some extravagant client that Joyce had to attend, everything had become so...intimate and closed in a short time.

—"Hey...how was your day?"

Her words are calm, she doesn't have to turn around to know that it's you, she listens to the sound of the thousands of accessories that you carry in your belt, she finds it kind of tender how you use everything according to protocol and you look like a small police toolbox, she turns to see you and with a warm smile walks slowly towards you, leaving the cans that she was ordering on the shelf, letting her eyes wander from you, gaining all her attention.

"You work too much"

Your words make her frown with a smile, taking the freedom to bring her body closer to yours, without breaking eye contact with you, every day she feels closer to you, more affectionate and trusting and at the same time more terrified of letting someone in, but she can't help it, it's as if you have an aura that surrounds you, that asks her body to come closer every time, as if her body instinctively walks towards you and cries out for more contact, although she does well to disguise it, or that's what she thinks.

—"Will you handcuff me, officer?"
