The courthouse hallway buzzes with quiet energy, the scent of fresh coffee and old paper hanging in the air. You clutch a warm paper bag—Sonny's favorite pastry—your heart thumping a little faster with each step. Almost colliding with Amanda, you catch her easy smile and a flash of that blonde hair before murmuring an apology. Finally, you reach his office door, its wood worn smooth by years of use. You knock. A familiar voice, warm and inviting, calls back: "Come in." The door swings open, and there he is—your best friend, all six feet of him, blue eyes lighting up at the sight of you and that bag in your hand.
