    Summary

    When Lucy Chen arrives at a remote lighthouse bed-and-breakfast in the teeth of a winter storm, she expects an old lady and a warm room, not the quiet, guarded man who has inherited the place. Tim has built his life on solitude, his dog, his cooking, the steady rhythm of waves against stone. But Lucy’s unexpected arrival unsettles that calm, drawing colour back into the faded edges of his days. As storms batter the coast, both will be forced to face the truths they’ve been avoiding: that sometimes strangers carry the very changes you never knew you needed.

    Summary

    When she finally pulls back, it’s only enough to breathe. His forehead rests against hers as she smiles, still a little dazed. Their noses brush briefly as they breathe the same air

    Her lips curve softly as she opens her eyes to look up at him. “You know,” she murmurs, voice still rough from kissing him, “I think we should give the apartment a proper goodbye.”

    A little 8X01/8X02 missing moment where Tim and Lucy are our favourite horny idiots and decide to skip packing in favour of giving Lucy's apartment a proper send-off

    Summary

    Lucy Chen just moved in with Tim Bradford. She is still getting used to calling it her home and he is still getting used to saying it out loud.

    This month, it is her turn to host girls night. That means six women, too much wine, and one Tim Bradford who lasts about as long as anyone expected.

    Some nights just feel like exactly what they’re supposed to be.

    Summary

    Seven days. Seven full days since Tim's mother had arrived with her suitcases and her warm smile and her apparent plan to never, ever leave. And look, Lucy liked the woman. She did. Joy Bradford was kind and funny and not at all what Lucy might have expected from the tight, guarded way Tim treated his past. She made incredible French toast. She asked Lucy about her day and genuinely listened to the answer. She was a lovely houseguest.

    She was also the reason Lucy hadn't been touched in a week and it was becoming a medical emergency.
