    Summary

    Chenford AU

    Lucy thought she knew what forever was supposed to look like — until the night she’s asked to choose it.

    This is a story about almosts. About the wrong timing, the right person, and the things you don’t call cheating until it’s too late.

    ———

    “That’s all this is. Everything feels heavier after a few too many.

     

    Lucy has always laughed when Tim got too close. Always shoved him off with an eye roll, called him dramatic, told him to knock it off. He’d sling an arm around her shoulders, pick her up without warning, invade her space just to hear her protest. It had always been easy. Predictable. Automatic. The two of them orbiting each other without ever thinking about it.”

    Summary

    It’s all gray until it isn’t.
    Lucy and Tim weren’t supposed to be anything more than colleagues, maybe friends at best.

    But long shifts with quiet moments, and risks taken side by side have a way of changing things.
    And somewhere in between, the world starts to show them its colors.

    Summary

    When burnout sends Lucy fleeing the spotlight, a broken-down car leaves her stuck - right on the doorstep of Tim, a brooding baker with no time for pop culture or pop stars. She’s a disruption he didn’t ask for. He’s a challenge she didn’t see coming. But the longer she stays, the harder it gets to draw the line between temporary and something that cuts a little deeper.
