    Summary

    The number blinked once before settling.

    Lucy stared down at the scale, unmoving.

    Three pounds in just a week.

    Her breath caught, just slightly. But not in panic.

    In something else.

    Relief.

    It was working.

    The thought came quickly. Automatically. Before she could even question it.

    Her shoulders loosened a fraction, tension she hadn’t realized she was holding easing just enough to notice. She stepped off the scale, the cold tile grounding her under her feet, and for a second, she just stood there in the quiet.

    Three pounds.

    Lucy Chen knows how to be strong. She knows how to stay steady, how to push through, how to keep everything exactly where it’s supposed to be.

    So when something begins to slip, quietly, subtly, almost unnoticeably, she does what she’s always done: She handles it.
    On her own, in silence, in control.

    In the process, she goes back to old and toxic habits. And the longer she keeps it hidden, the harder it becomes to let anyone in, even Tim, the person who wants to understand the most.

    Summary

    He’s been watching her for some time and he still can’t stop staring at her ocean eyes.

     

    or — nine times Jay found himself lost in Hailey’s gorgeous eyes + the one time it's not her eyes he's staring at.
