Summary
Three years disappear in the blink of an eye.
When Lucy wakes after a devastating undercover operation gone wrong, she remembers being a rookie. She remembers Officer Nolan, her tiny apartment, and the relentless training officer who seemed determined to break her.
She doesn't remember becoming Sergeant Chen.
She doesn't remember falling in love with Tim Bradford.
Tim is suddenly a stranger wearing a familiar face, and everyone keeps looking at them like they're mourning something that isn't dead—just forgotten. Refusing to force memories that aren't there, Tim keeps his distance, swallowing every instinct to reach for her.
But the closer Lucy gets to the man he is now, the more she notices the little things that don't make sense: why his House feels strangely like home, why she knows exactly how he takes his coffee, why his hoodie still smells comforting, and why her heart aches every time he walks away.
Sometimes love isn't forgotten. Sometimes it simply finds its way back. A story about memory, grief, healing, and falling in love with the same person twice.
