UNDERCOVER LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

PART 24 BRETTONIO

Julie: (entering the police station) Hey, has anyone seen my mom?

Erin: Hey, Julie. Your mom's not in her office, but I'll take you to her.

Julie: Thanks, Erin.

(Erin leads Julie through the police station, finally arriving at the dressing room where Sylvie is.)

Erin: (knocking on the door gently) Sylvie, it's Erin. Can we come in?

Sylvie: (voice slightly shaky) Yes, come in.

(Erin opens the door, allowing Julie to enter the room. Julie's eyes widen when she sees Sylvie's tear-stained face.)

Julie: (concerned) Mom, what happened? Why are you crying?

Sylvie: (taking a deep breath) Oh, Julie.

(Sylvie kneels down and pulls Julie into a hug, holding her tightly.)

Julie: (worried) Mom, you're scaring me. What's wrong?

Sylvie: (voice breaking) Julie, your dad and I had a difficult conversation today. It's... it's about us, about our relationship.

Julie: (concerned) Are you and Dad...?

Sylvie: (nodding, tears falling) Yes, sweetheart. We're going through some changes, and it's been really hard for me.

Julie: (teary-eyed) Are you and Dad getting a divorce?

Sylvie: (choked up) We're trying to figure things out, Julie. It's complicated.

Julie: (hugging Sylvie tightly) I'm here for you, Mom. We'll get through this together.

Sylvie: (holding Julie close) Thank you, Julie. I'm so lucky to have you.

(As Sylvie and Julie share a tender moment, the support of their mother-daughter bond shines through. While challenges continue to arise, their connection remains a source of strength amidst the turmoil.)

Sergeant Hank: (approaching Sylvie) Sylvie, you've been through a lot today. Why don't you take some time for yourself? I'll handle things here at the station.

Sylvie: (grateful) Thank you, Sergeant Hnk. I could use some time to clear my head.

(Sylvie gathers her things and heads home, her colleagues watching with concern as she leaves the station. Over the next few days, her coworkers, especially Erin and Antonio, check up on her regularly to offer support.)

Erin: (calling Sylvie) Hey, how are you holding up?

Sylvie: (voice still shaky) It's been a tough few days, Erin. But I'm managing.

Antonio: (in person, visiting Sylvie) Sylvie, we're here for you. If you need anything, just let us know.

Sylvie: (appreciative) Thanks, Antonio. It means a lot to me.

Erin: And don't forget, we're a team. We've got your back, no matter what.

(Sylvie, although still dealing with the emotional aftermath of recent events, finds comfort in the support of her coworkers and friends. Their unwavering presence reminds her that she's not alone in facing these challenges.)
