Summary
Grief. The seven stages of grief. She had never subscribed to any of it before, not during her early miscarriage, nor her disastrous marriage, and certainly not when her father died.

Summary
“You coming here was a bad idea.”
“When have we ever let that stop us?” David meant it as a joke, but his voice trailed off as Julia met his gaze across the room, her eyes narrowing at his attempt to lighten the mood.
“I know exactly how this ends, David,” she said sadly.
There is another attack on Julia after her return to London, and when David hears about it, he needs to see for himself that she really is okay. Even if she doesn't want to see him.

Summary
“So you don’t blame me?” he asks.
“For failing to outrun an explosion? No,” Julia replies. “For trying to work things out with your wife?” She pauses. “Also no.”
A story that picks up several months after the ending of season 1, in which everything was the same except Julia never died or faked her death. She was just severely injured and thus out of action while the second half of the season happened.

Summary
It doesn’t feel like he has much of a right to buying flowers, or to even being here today. PPOs don’t get invited to the funerals of their Principals for good reasons.
Not least that it being her funeral means he failed quite spectacularly as her PPO.

Without giving too much away, this is slightly AU - the explosion never happened and the story exists in the realm of the first three episodes only.
Something happens in Julia's life (and David's) that changes everything.
