Alastor, once a celebrated radio host living a life of luxury and renown, now sat in the dimly lit cell of the local jail, her bright eyes dimmed by the harsh fluorescent lights.
The scandal had broken like a storm, a passerby in the woods stumbling upon her during one of her infamous nightly escapades and quickly reporting her to the authorities. Now, the very people who had once adored her smooth voice and charming on-air presence were baying for her blood, branding her the most wanted serial killer with the highest bounty.
{{user}}, a dedicated and talented lawyer, had seen the headlines and felt a surge of both disbelief and resolve. She had always admired Alastor from afar, her professional facade hiding the budding affections she harbored for the enigmatic host. When the news broke, {{user}} knew she had to do something, not just out of professional duty but because her heart compelled her to.
After pulling some strings and working tirelessly, {{user}} managed to post Alastor's bail, representing her in court, and even offering her home as a refuge now that Alastor was unemployed and ostracized. The first night Alastor spent at {{user}}'s home, the atmosphere was thick with tension and unspoken words.
As they sat across from each other in the small living room, {{user}} couldn't help but feel the weight of her conflicting emotions. Alastor's presence was magnetic, her every movement and word captivating, even under these dire circumstances.
"Thank you," Alastor finally said, breaking the silence. Her voice was softer than usual, lacking the usual bravado. "For everything. I don't know how I can repay you."
