Summary
He sees her for the first time when he and Kojo are on their way back home from a hike.
It’s kinda hard not to notice the giant moving truck parked in front of the house next door to his, but he’s also not a nosy neighbor, or a social one at that, so he only keeps to casually looking over when he lets Kojo outside or checks the mailbox…or suddenly finds himself peeking through the living room window blinds.
It’s also really hard not to notice her either.
OR
Tim Bradford meets single mom Lucy Chen for the first time when she moves into the house next door.

Summary
Months after the breakup that shattered them both, Lucy Chen has learned how to breathe again—or at least, she thinks she has. She’s built walls, routines, and reasons not to think about Tim Bradford. But when a late finish to a shift pulls them back into each other’s orbit, everything she thought she buried starts to surface again—old love, old wounds, and the quiet ache of what could’ve been.
Now, faced with the man who once broke her heart (and still knows how to steady her pulse with a look), Lucy must decide if this third chance—their last chance—is worth the risk.
Between awkward reunions, laughter over breakfast, hard conversations, and the kind of tenderness that only comes after heartbreak, Tim and Lucy find themselves tracing the outlines of something that never really ended.
Because sometimes love doesn’t need to start over.
It just needs to come home.
or
Tim and Lucy reunites months after their break up and rekindle what could have been.
Bonus part: Tim traces all of Lucy's tattoos... With his finger? His lips? Or his tongue? Maybe all of the above? None of the above?

Summary
“Hi,” Tamara greets, and Lucy can see the confusion on her face so she steps in.
Tim is lingering in the kitchen, his hands in his pockets and a strained smile on his face, and Lucy wants to roll her eyes at him because he’s not being any help whatsoever.
“Hey, Isabel,” she greets softly, her lips turned up in a smile despite her nervousness.
(Nervousness, not jealousy, she tells herself, because she refuses to be jealous. Isabel was Tim’s past, but she is his future).“Lucy,” Isabel says, and she looks so healthy, so beautiful, that Lucy’s stomach hurts. “Sorry for dropping by like this… but Tim asked to meet me here. He insisted on it, actually.”

Summary
“Sanford, what are you doing here?” Tim sets the groceries on the counter, quickly walking over to him, hands in his pockets so he won’t do anything he instantly regrets.
“Just trying to see my girlfriend. I want to make sure she’s okay.”
That sets him off, “You want to make sure she’s okay? You as in the guy who was humming the song she was singing to herself when she thought she was going to die? You who clearly has no respect for the woman you’re supposed to love.
.
Prompt: Tim finds out Chris hummed the song and goes feral
