Tim's perspective:

I rolled over the bed to cuddle Lucy, but my hand fell on the cold sheets. I picked my phone from the nightstand and checked the time. 3am. I got up barely keeping my eyes opened as I walked downstairs. I spotted Lucy in the kitchen. She was standing in front of the fridge with its door open.

T: Babe? What are you doing here? I said yawning.

She turned around with tears in her eyes.

T: Hey...Are you crying? I said pulling her into a hug.

L: We don't have lemons! She said sobbing. 

 T: Lemons? I asked smiling.

L: Yes! Stop laughing! 

T: I'll buy you lemons in the morning, okay?

L: No! I need them now! Please!

T: You want me to...?It's 3am Luce...

L: Yes! Please!

T: only for you. I said as I threw a hoodie over my t shirt and picked a random pair of shoes. I went to a non stop shop and came back in around 20 minutes. When I entered the house I've seen Lucy asleep on the couch. I came next to her holding a paper bag full of lemons and bent down on my knees to be on the same eye level as her. I caressed her cheek with my hand and she woke up.

L: Did you buy them?!

T: Yes, here you go. 

L: Oh I love you so much right now! She said as she took the bag from my hands and went into the kitchen to cut some lemons. I started walking upstair when I heard Lucy calling my name.

L: Tim...?

T: What's wrong baby? I said coming next to her.

L: I'm scared to eat here alone...Can you stay with me?

T: Sure...

Hours passed and she was still having lemons to eat. Why did I even bought so many? It's 6:30am and we have to start getting ready for work.

Lunch break:

I was seated with Lucy and Angela at one of the tables at the food trucks. Luce was sitting next to me talking to Angela while eating her lunch. Me, besides her, I was to tired to eat. I was sitting with my arms on the table, my head resting on them.

A: What's wrong with him?

L: That's my fault...She said smiling as she started massaging my back of the neck with her hand.

L: I made him go buy me lemons at 3am, and then he had to stay with me until I finished them...

A: Aww! Tim Bradford you are such a softie!

T: I'm not a softie! She was crying! I said not lifting my head from my arms.
