Summary
Tim concluded that there had been enough unpredictability for a lifetime in that one day. He didn’t want to engage in it again. It had caused enough pain.
He believed that thought, so he couldn’t explain why there was still a part of him urging him to take more risks with Lucy. If unpredictability was inherently bad, then why did he feel a rush of excitement when he asked her to dance?
If Tim didn’t like surprises, then why did he still see Lucy in that dress every time he closed his eyes?
OR
Tim doesn't like unpredictability, but he's willing to let Lucy change his mind.

Either way, the point was; she had wanted this.
So, all she had to do was figure out a way to be able to look him in the eye again without remembering that she had spent this morning touching herself to thoughts of him.
No big deal.

Summary
“Hey, Luce, do you go ahead and wanna order lunch from that one place we both lo—”
Lucy whirls around, caught red handed in her snooping, as Tim enters the bedroom.
They stare at each other for a long moment, barely even breathing in the charged silence as her fingers flex on the small box she’d pulled from his drawer.
The ring box.
“Um. Fuck,” Tim says, swallowing thickly as his eyes dart back and forth between the velvet and her face. “You, uh… I meant that you could have the, uh, the left drawer.”
OR
Lucy finds the ring Tim bought before he broke up with her while moving in.

Summary
Tim watches the whole sequence in slow motion. He sees the burly man burst through the door, his gun already in the air. He sees the finger already waiting on the trigger. He hears the awful sound of the bullet ripping through the air, the ear-splitting crack of the tiny explosion within the firearm that sent the bullet flying forward.
He watches the force of the bullet fling her backwards, powerless to stop the blood from blossoming across her chest.
"Lucy!" he screams. Not Boot. Not Chen. Lucy.

or: Tim never gave Lucy a trauma plate. When she's shot, he struggles with the guilt, and a few things come to light.

Summary
It’s just rain, not a miracle (even if it rarely happens here in L.A.). But the way she stands there, shoulders relaxed, quiet and content, steam curling from the rose quartz mug cradled in her hands, makes the ordinary feel extraordinary, as if she’s found the beauty in the simplest of moments.
____
A sudden rain storm sends Tim home early to find Lucy wrapped in his shirt, calm and beautiful in the soft gray morning.

Summary
“The stars really are the greatest reminder of how our actions have no consequence in the grand scheme of things. Even tonight; I kill you, the love of your life suffocates in that barrel—”
Tim’s heart clenches.
“—maybe it means something to you, to your friends, to your little sister, sure, but outside of here? Beyond your precious city? Out there in the universe? Not even a blip. The world keeps turning, the planets stay in their paths of orbit. The stars aren’t moved by your loss, but aren’t they beautiful all the same?”

As if the situation can’t get even more overwhelming, the door of a shop slams, and Tim hears the voice of one of the last people he’d want to witness this moment.
“Awww, everyone say ‘baby’s first crime scene!’”
Tim whips around to see Angela grinning with her phone out. “Lopez, I swear to—”
“Baby’s first crime scene!” Lucy throws up a peace sign and beams at the camera while the baby coos in her arms.

Summary
She’s no stranger to panic attacks. She knows what to do to stop herself from descending into one, knows how to bring herself out of one, but she doesn’t know how to handle this unusual, unfamiliar in-between. She doesn’t feel like she wants to crawl out of her skin and shake it all off like she normally does but instead she’s just.. numb.
Numb and in shock and stuck with the never-ending mantra of you killed someone you killed someone you killed someone.

*COMPLETE*
Lucy's gaze darted down to his lips, then quickly back up to his eyes. “You couldn’t seduce me if you tried,” she said haughtily. “I, on the other hand, would have you wrapped around my finger in no time.”
Tim shook his head and grinned smugly. “It would be so easy to seduce you, Boot.” He picked up his glass and ran his thumb over the condensation in slow, smooth circles before bringing it up his lips and finishing off the last of the whiskey in one long gulp. “If I wanted to.”

“But that’s just it,” Lucy stresses, “I don’t feel like I can trust Tanner...or anyone that I don’t already know…” An idea had begun to form in her mind a few minutes back, and she’s not sure if she should even bring it up with Tim, or how he’d react.
But he must pick up on something because he tilts his head at her in suspicion. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Lucy decides to just rip the bandaid off. “I was just thinking...maybe you’d be willing to help me with this?”OR
Lucy has been having trouble feeling safe with strange men ever since her kidnapping and there’s only one person she trusts to turn to for help. Exposure therapy with Tim is surely all she needs to overcome her fears and have a chance at a real relationship again someday...right?

Summary
The man grins, sliding in next to her and extending a hand. “Tim Bradford.”
Lucy accepts it, quirking an eyebrow as he traces his thumb along the pulse point of her wrist. Bold. “Anastasiya Rhodes,” she says, then brings her glass to her lips once more. “Thank you for the drink.”
Tim nods, following the movement of her throat as she swallows. “You seemed like a tequila woman.”
Lucy hums, eyes twinkling up at him from under thick lashes. “You have good instincts.”
Tim grins and leans in. “Just one of my many talents.”
