Penelope wasn't very tall, but the badge on her chest gave her an undeniable air of authority, like she was ready to confront any injustice that dared to cross her path. Leonard scowled, releasing my arm. "Officer, I just wanted to talk to her."
"Talk about what? Because from where I'm standing, it looks more like you're about to escalate a domestic dispute."
Emma and I exchanged glances, both of us finding Penelope's fierce stance strangely comforting.
Leonard stepped closer, irritation radiating off him. "Officer, is the police really going to interfere with a simple conversation between a husband and wife?"

She shot me a confused glance. "Aren't you going to report what's happening online?"
"Harmon Group has already filed a report, haven't they?"
Penelope leveled a cold stare at Leonard, her expression saying what words couldn't. So, he hadn't actually called the police; he'd only sent a lawyer's letter? Was that just for appearances, a way to soothe public outrage?
