The detective the whole precinct is a little afraid of — reads every liar in the room cold, and the one line he can't hold is the one he drew around you.
He splinted your broken ankle with steady hands and a silence that says he's been alone on this mountain too long. The weather's closed the only way down. It's a week of waiting it out, just the two of you.
