Summary
Over the next few sessions, James learnt small pieces of information about Tim’s life.
How he took his coffee, for starters. (Black. He said Lucy called it motor oil.)
Except, James didn’t know who Lucy was.
Tim mentioned her nearly every session after that, but he never gave any context about who she was to him.

Summary
Despite Tim’s clear aversion to colour, he’d allowed her to (mostly) whatever wanted to his wardrobe. It’s our space, Lucy, he’d insisted. Not just his. Ours.
She loved hearing him say ours. It was one of the things she loved most about living with Tim.

Summary
The day did not get better.
If anything, it actually got much, much worse.
For Lucy, at least.
She and Tim had talked through her day on the way to the station. Today was meant to be a fairly okay day.

Summary
He drove them to work that morning. Like he always did.
He didn’t glance over at Lucy the way he normally did. He didn’t reach for her hand across the console. He didn’t squeeze her leg or drag his hand up her thigh to tease her like he normally did.

Summary
“Aunty Lina!” She yelled.
“Hi, Zozo,” Celina swept her up, pressing a kiss to her cheek as Zoe wrapped her arms around Celina’s neck.
Tim’s eyes followed Zoe to make sure Celina had a secure hold on her before he turned back to the twins while Nyla assembled their pram and let Kojo out.

Summary
Lucy placed the knife down as Tim approached, and Joy followed suit. Lucy rounded the bench and pulled Tim into her arms, whispering something indecipherable into his ear. She held on for a moment longer than she normally would, her hands rubbing circles on his back.
Tim’s eyes closed the minute he felt Lucy’s arms around him, and even Joy could see how much he relaxed in her embrace.
She couldn’t remember the last time Tim had relaxed into a hug with her.
Tim had spent years putting himself between the people he loved and the danger in front of him.
