They were finalising the divorce when she OD'd anyway but Tim was more angry that she just left Ellie.
A- Angela (Tim's best friend)
L- Lucy
T- Tim
E- Ellie
As- Ashley

This story is full of angst and shows a very vulnerable Tim Bradford. Hope you enjoy!
This is canon-compliant until 5x19, but it's really a stand-alone #chenford fanfic.
