Det. Lilly Rush had never, ever said it aloud, but the thought had crossed her mind before.

Sometimes she'd let her mind wander, and think about how it would look on business cards and letterheads, Christmas cards and birth announcements.

If she thought about it long enough, Lilly would get the urge to write it down. To look at it in black and white and pretend that it was true—if only for a minute. After staring at it for a little while, though, she would regain control of herself and immediate throw the paper out or furiously scribble over it. Try to forget her moment of weakness.

Det. Lilly Valens. What a joke.
