Tim Bradford thought he already knew exhaustion, heartbreak, and responsibility-until he became a single dad to a five year old girl still asking why mommy doesn't come home anymore. Starting pre-k was supposed to be simple. Drop her off. Pick her up. Repeat. Then she met Miss Chen. Warm, patient, and somehow able to get his daughter to smile on the very first day, Lucy Chen slowly becomes the one person both Bradford girls can't stop talking about. And for the first time in years, Tim starts wondering if maybe broken things can heal.

Tw: this story includes emotional abuse and manipulation Before she wore a badge, Lucy Chen learned to be perfect. Quiet, graceful, obedient-never loud, never messy, never enough. In a home ruled by expectation and silence, love was earned through flawlessness, and tears were seen as weakness. She was born bright and full of feeling, but raised to hide every part that didn't fit. This is the story of the girl before the strength the world now sees. This story is vaugly based off of Billie Eilish's song, Blue, from the part where it goes 'you were born bluer than a butterfly, beautiful and so deprived of oxygen' This story is my own original idea, only Lucy and her parents are canon, and maybe I'll bring in Jackson and John later, idk, other than that, the characters are my own.

Lucy Chen, a gorgeous, young, kind ER nurse, with an overbearing, yet loving family, has been single for years, never thinking she needed someone or wanted someone. She's had a few short-term relationships since high school, but she never felt that spark with any of them. Her family has been trying to set her up since she was 20, but every single date never had a sequel. As the youngest of 5 kids, she had always been behind her older siblings; Aria, Tyler, Rose and Reese, but all her siblings were at least engaged by 28, but Lucy is 27 and never even had a serious relationship. Her parents, Vanessa and Patrick Chen, have always told her that when she finds "the one," she would know. Then Lucy meets Tim Bradford at a mutual friends birthday party and they just...click. •♥︎-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♥︎• Tim Bradford is a sergeant and the watch commander at Mid-Wilshire Police Station. He recently got divorced from his wife, Isabel after she got addicted to drugs, and his best friend, Angela Lopez, has been trying to set him up again. During Tim's marriage, he hated everything about it, not because she was controlling, not because she cheated, not because he and Isabel argued constantly, all though the latter two were true, its because he never truly loved her. The only good thing Tim got from his marriage was his son, Oliver, who he got full custody of when the divorce was final. Tim has avoided dating since the divorce, not wanting to make Ollie think he was replacing his mother. Even if Isabel was a horrible person, she was still the mother of his child. But when Tim meets Lucy Chen at his friend Bailey's birthday party and actually feels... something, he decided to ask her out on a date. Despite feeling something, Tim doesn't expect their relationship to go anywhere, so he doesn't tell Lucy about Ollie. But over time, Tim realises he's falling for her...hard. And now he's in love with a girl who doesn

It's mostly about chenford and I'll take any suggestions!

Sergeant Tim Bradford wakes up in a world that feels familiar yet foreign a world where faces smile at him like they've known him forever, but his heart doesn't recognize any of them. After a traumatic injury leaves his memories fractured, he's left clinging to the only truth he remembers..... that he's married to Isabel and happy. But when Sergeant Lucy Chen steps back into his life,the woman everyone insists was once his closest partner,something begins to stir within him. Her laugh feels like a memory he can't quite reach, her presence both comforts and confuses him. To Lucy, it's more than just heartbreak .....it's watching the man she loves forget every moment they built together, every glance, every unspoken word. As Tim struggles to rebuild his life piece by piece, Lucy learns that love sometimes means letting go - even when the heart remembers what the mind has lost.
