At 42, with graying hair and weary eyes shaped by 15 years on the force, Sundays had become his refuge. They were the days his seven-year-old daughter, Sophie, returned from her mother\u2019s house, filling his quiet two-bedroom apartment with her laughter and endless chatter. He glanced at the clock. Laura, his ex-wife, was usually punctual with drop-offs, if not much else. The divorce had been finalized nearly a year ago, and though the ache hadn\u2019t fully faded, they\u2019d managed to create a fragile balance\u2014for Sophie\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n<p>When the doorbell rang, Michael\u2019s face softened into a genuine smile. He opened the door, ready with a cheerful greeting, but the words caught in his throat. Sophie stood before him, unusually still, her eyes lowered, her small shoulders drooping in a way that pierced him instantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, Princess,\u201d he murmured, kneeling so he could meet her gaze. \u201cYou okay?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Behind her stood Laura, jangling her keys nervously, her eyes fixed on some distant point beyond his shoulder. \u201cShe\u2019s just tired,\u201d she said quickly. \u201cNathan took her hiking yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Bennett. Laura\u2019s new husband of three months\u2014a fitness trainer with dazzling teeth and an endless supply of motivational quotes. Michael had met him only twice, and though every instinct pushed him to judge, he forced himself to hold back\u2014for Sophie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The faint glow of early Sunday light slipped between the blinds as Officer Michael Miller poured himself a cup of coffee, his thoughts already ticking through the&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>My 7-year-old came back from her mom\u2019s place with marks.
