As Lucas sat in the precinct, awaiting Matthew's arrival, a sense of unease settled over him. The truth he was about to confront weighed heavily on his heart. He looked around the room, the bright, glowing lights creating shadows that reflected the chaos in his thoughts. Each moment seemed to stretch on forever as he anxiously awaited the upcoming conversation with Eleanor. As soon as Matthew arrived, Lucas immediately conveyed his urgent request. "Matthew, I want to meet with Eleanor." Alone." Matthew nodded, fully comprehending the seriousness of the situation. "I'll arrange. Come on." They walked into the meeting room assigned for in custody visits. Lucas's steps grew heavier with each footfall, his mind consumed by the thoughts of what lay ahead. Upon entering the room, Lucas noticed Eleanor sitting there, her expression a blend of nervousness and optimism. Upon catching sight of Lucas, her face instantly brightened with a beaming smile, clearly displaying her sense of relief.
