Lucy hesitated for a split second. Taking a luxury car to the precinct would raise eyebrows for sure, but she couldn't be late. "I'll manage," she replied, taking the keys and kissing him goodbye.

Arriving at the station, Lucy felt a pang of discomfort as she parked the sleek black Mercedes in the precinct's lot. It glistened under the sun, its polished exterior an undeniable contrast to the usual sedans and beat-up cars parked beside it. She had taken extra care to park it as far in the corner as possible, hoping no one would notice. But as she stepped out of the car, she caught the unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching.
"Nice ride, Chen!" Officer Angela Lopez called out with a smirk, striding toward her. "Didn't know rookies made that kind of cash."
Lucy laughed it off nervously, avoiding the topic. "Just borrowing it. Long story."
As she walked inside, her mind raced. **Don't draw attention. Keep it casual.** She reminded herself that it was only for one day, just until her usual car was back from the shop. What was the worst that could happen?
Inside the station, she greeted her fellow officers, including her TO, Tim Bradford. He immediately noticed something different about her as they prepared for their shift.
"New car? New ring?" Tim's sharp eyes flicked toward her left hand, where the enormous diamond sparkled brightly. Lucy's stomach dropped as she realized her mistake—she had forgotten to remove the ring before heading out the door.
