Summary
Emerging from her meditation, prompted by Waverly’s beckoning smile, Nicole took her time settling in on the couch. When they were both comfortable again, she turned to face Waverly, soft voice blending with the rain’s rhythmic tapping.
“So this game- lets call it ‘Question Master.’”

Summary
Waverly stared at her drink, exhaustion seeping from her pores.
“We did the best we could, with acutely few choices, may I add.”
Nicole looked up, her bottom lip protruding slightly. It was her tell when something was on the verge of being voiced, something that couldn't be taken back.
Before she could speak, the sharp crack of pool balls striking each other jarred her and Waverly. The room stilled, the slow rumble of a ball rolling back to the center of the table punctuating the silence.

Summary
Setting: Evening at the Purgatory Police Station. Nicole is squinting at the bottom of a stack of 6-inch high paperwork, rubbing her strained neck as she completes yet another report involving a man vs. raccoon altercation (somehow the raccoon is always the aggressor). Nicole is just about to stand to go refill on 4-hour old coffee when she catches a whirlwind of denim and brown hair in her peripheral vision.
