    Summary

    He’d thought that finding Lucy in that barrel had been one of the hardest moments of his life… and it was.

    But one thing that the universe should have taught him by now is that things can always get worse, and there’s no rock bottom when it comes to the depravity in the world.

    And once again he has to find a way to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    It’s three days to drive across the country, stopping here and there to see landmarks along the way. Then there’s a fifth-story walkup to unpack, and Tim is sure it’s a better workout than he’s had since the military. But he and Rachel get the boxes emptied out and stacked against a wall, forgotten every time one of them takes the trash to out.

    Before he realizes it, he’s lived in New York for a month, and he’s calling it “home.”

    Summary

    Turns out, Lucy had nothing to worry about after all. Tim’s tough attitude wasn’t on display at any point during the interview, but rather, there was a calming presence to him and Lucy was grateful for that. Her nerves went away no more than he opened his mouth to respond to her first question. She thinks she’s gonna like talking to Tim from now on.

    Summary

    Lucy is momentarily rattled by the realization that yes, of course, they will be sleeping in the same room, likely with a few other teams, but the thought of sleeping next to Tim Bradford every night somehow hadn’t factored into how she had envisioned this would all unfold. In fact, she’s starting to quickly realize that she’d let the glamorous ideas of being on TV and traveling the world and kicking butt in the competition completely box out any practical consideration of what living here in this situation for the next few weeks will actually be like.

    She’s jolted from her thoughts when she realizes Tim has come to a stop in one of the bedrooms, depositing her bags on what she assumes will be her bed, and is now pulling off his punch-soaked shirt in front of her.

    Her eyes widen in surprise as she numbly processes that, yes, he looks just as good, if not better, as the last time she got to see this particular show.

    Get a grip, Lucy tells herself; if the show is anything like prior seasons, she’s going to need to get comfortable with shirtless Tim Bradford and fast.
