The first pale light of Sunday morning filtered through the blinds as Officer Michael Miller brewed his coffee, his mind already running through the checklist of the day ahead.
At 42, with salt-and-pepper hair and tired eyes that had seen too much in his 15 years on the force, Sundays were his anchor
. It was the day his seven-year-old daughter, Sophie, would return from her mother’s house,
filling his modest two-bedroom apartment with her bright laughter and a whirlwind of stories. 
He glanced at his watch. Laura, his ex-wife, was usually punctual with drop-offs, if nothing else. 
The divorce had been finalized 11 months ago, and while the wounds were still raw, they had managed to establish a fragile rhythm for Sophie’s sake.
