Summary
He looked up, and the tears started. His lip shook. He wiped his face roughly, like he was mad at himself for crying.
He was sixteen, broad shoulders, sharp jawline, starting to look more and more like Tim. But right then, with red eyes, blotchy skin, and fresh bruises, he looked like a kid again.
“Mom...”
That was all it took. One word, and Lucy knew. She saw it written all over him. Beneath the bruises, behind the fear. The truth he hadn’t wanted her to find out like this.
OR
When Lucy and Tim get a call from their teenager’s school about a fight, they brace for trouble, but nothing prepares them for the real reason behind their son’s outburst.

Summary
He’s been waiting for ten years.
Ten years.
But he finds himself thinking that every single second had been worth it when he catches her gaze, because as their eyes meet and the roll call room falls completely and utterly silent, something inside of him shifts. Something slides into place and it feels like he’s seeing the world in color for the first time in his life, and there’s a moment of realization as he sucks in a breath and watches her do the same.
Oh, he thinks.
There you are.
I’ve been waiting for you my whole life.
