As we pulled up to the police station, Eliana's hand clamped around my arm, guiding me out of the car with a sternness that bordered on theatrical. I bit back a retort, willing myself to stay calm as we strode through the station doors. Inside, her aura commanded respect; every officer we passed greeted her with nods and respectful glances. She was clearly well-regarded here, which only added to the injustice of this situation.

"Oh, just another reckless type," she said, her tone laced with a smugness that made my jaw tighten. "One of those entitled types who thinks he can speed down the streets like he owns them."

The officer laughed, giving me a once-over. "Sounds like he needs a reality check."
