Tim Bradford's life runs on structure. Former soldier, career cop, newly promoted Watch Commander-his days are measured in responsibility and routine. Lucy Chen is building a life of her own. As a CPS worker, she helps people navigate systems that weren't made to be kind, finding patience, humour, and quiet strength along the way. A blind date arranged by their mutual friend Angela Lopez brings them together. Neither expects more than one drink. They both decide one drink isn't enough. Over the course of a year, they let something unfamiliar take shape-dates that turn into habits, conversations that linger, and a relationship built deliberately, without rush. This is the story of two people from different worlds making room for something new-together.

Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen never expected high school to be easy-but they didn't expect it to feel this complicated either. From late-night study sessions to whispered confessions in crowded hallways, their love grows between laughter, stolen kisses, and the struggles of teenage life.

A newborn who won't stop crying and a toddler who won't speak or smile. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and at the edge of breaking, Tim doesn't know what else to do. That is until Detectives Angela Lopez and Nyla Harper recommends someone-Dr. Lucy Chen, a warm-hearted child psychologist with a gentle way of unlocking even the most closed-off hearts.

As a dedicated doctor, her world revolves around long shifts, quiet hospital corridors, and holding people together on their worst days. She prefers stability, privacy, and a life lived just out of the spotlight-something that has always been easy with her two best friends by her side. Jackson West is a globally famous race car driver with charisma to spare, a sharp sense of humor, and a heart that never forgets where he came from.

Through Jackson, Lucy is slowly pulled into a world she never planned to touch. That world belongs to Tim Bradford. Tim is one of the most successful race car drivers in the world-focused, disciplined, and relentlessly private despite his fame. He's surrounded by a tight-knit group of elite drivers, lifelong friendships, and a family that means everything to him, even when life on the track keeps him constantly moving. Fame has given him everything except the one thing he wants most: something real. When Jackson invites Lucy and Celina to one of his races, Lucy meets Tim for the first time. What begins as an easy friendship grows quietly-shared conversations, mutual respect, and a comfort neither of them expected. Tim brings Lucy along to events long before romance is ever on the table, and without trying, she becomes a familiar face in the press. Speculation explodes. Headlines blur truth and rumor. The spotlight tightens.

Lucy Chen is a famous young singer. She's only 20 years old and the whole world loves her. And she enjoys every second of it. She loves every single one of her fans. She loves being in contact with them. She wouldn't change her life for anything! She loves it! She's doing what she was born to do! She started singing even before she could properly talk. As a little girl she performed in theaters and later dedicated herself to music. She studied at a vocal school. She never wanted to do anything else. Her whole family supports her, but they don't see each other very often because Lucy is always somewhere else... but whenever she has some time at home in LA, she loves spending it with them. She doesn't have a boyfriend. She doesn't really trust men - she got burned a few times. They didn't want her, they wanted her fame... She doesn't really believe she'll ever find a man who will love her, and not her fame and money. Tim Bradford, 30 years old. A man with a boring life. Until now, he's been working as a security guard in a bar, but he realized it was time for something new. He saw a job posting for a bodyguard. He applied. He passed all the tests - and got the job! He only knew it was for a famous singer. He's not the type to listen to music anyway. He's calm, he likes his peace. But guarding someone is something he knows he can handle.

Isabel has disappeared but Tim divorced her or he tried. Before he left LA he put a divorce paper on 'their' coffee table and a pen. He doesn't know whether she signed it or not but he just needed to get out of LA. He left his job, his 'wife' but he had to. A weight was weighing on him like a brick. What will happen next??? Lucy lives in a small town called Santa Monica. Just outside of LA. She owns a bar with her best friend Angela. Lucy hasn't always had the best of luck with love. They either left or she didn't trust them or they were lying liars who lied. 'Trust has to be earned' iykyk T- tim L- Lucy A- Angela C- Celina B- Bailey N- Nyla J- John W- Wesley Aa - Aaron T- Tamara (Lucy's younger sister)

Lucy slipped on a puddle at work. In front of Celina. Now she's stuck on the couch with a sprained ankle, crutches she can barely use, and a boyfriend who treats "complete rest" like a tactical mission. At least there's pizza. And painkillers. And Tim Bradford willingly watching The Bachelor.

Lucy and Tim don't know each other... Lucy is 26 years old and is just starting at the police academy. Tim is a teacher there. He teaches theoretical courses. Tim is 35. What will happen when they meet? What will Lucy's first six months at the academy be like? Will it be difficult for Tim? L: Lucy T: Tim J: Jackson Jo: John A: Angela That's all for now.

T: "I love you... but this is better." L: "I love you... don't leave me, please..." She was broken. I stepped back and walked to the door. I opened it and looked one last time at the only love of my life. L: "Don't go..." And the door shut. And I woke up again. Again. For half a year now. The same dream. Over and over. I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the clock. 3 a.m. I didn't even need to check, because that's the usual time. I hugged the pillow that had his T-shirt on it. The T-shirt that no longer smelled like him. The T-shirt that was now full of my tears. The T-shirt that now means everything to me.
