Summary
She's been lying for months, telling Tim she's fine while hiding bruises under long sleeves and flinching every time he gets too close. He sees it all, asks every day, and waits.
Then his phone rings at 1:03 AM, and the sound of her voice on the other end makes him realize almost was never going to be enough.- Language:

Summary
Chenford AU
Lucy thought she knew what forever was supposed to look like — until the night she’s asked to choose it.
This is a story about almosts. About the wrong timing, the right person, and the things you don’t call cheating until it’s too late.
———
“That’s all this is. Everything feels heavier after a few too many.
Lucy has always laughed when Tim got too close. Always shoved him off with an eye roll, called him dramatic, told him to knock it off. He’d sling an arm around her shoulders, pick her up without warning, invade her space just to hear her protest. It had always been easy. Predictable. Automatic. The two of them orbiting each other without ever thinking about it.”
