Summary
After an undercover operation goes sideways, Lucy returns to her apartment wounded and exhausted, brushing off the injury with her usual stubborn sarcasm.
But when Tim helps clean the cut along her ribs in the harsh bathroom light, he discovers her tattoo the date etched delicately against her skin. The day she was buried alive.
The revelation fractures the emotional distance between them, forcing Lucy to confront the trauma she's carried alone for years. What follows is quiet, tender intimacy.
