Read to find out

Lucy had been with the police for a few years now - no longer a rookie. She had Tim. They had been together for over a year. Deeply in love. Their love radiated from them. They were partners. Lovers. Best friends. Everyone at the station knew. Everyone was rooting for them. Tim worked in METRO, so their relationship was never an issue. But Lucy carried a secret. A big one. Only one person had ever known - Captain Anderson. And now... she was gone. Only she knew what had happened to Lucy all those years ago... Back before the academy. Back before the badge. Lucy had been nineteen. A bartender. Homeless. She had to work to survive. And that's when she met him. He looked charming. Inviting. He asked her out. She said yes. And that changed everything. He kidnapped her. She knew his name - Caleb. She still sees his face. Everywhere. She doesn't remember how she escaped. Doesn't know how she got out. But she knows one thing: He's still out there. Free. He left her with scars. And a tattoo. When Tim asked her about it, she said it was a drunken mistake. A lie. One of many she had to tell. It's been ten years. And still... the fear lives on. Three times a week, she sees a therapist. And even now, she struggles to sleep in the dark. Captain Anderson sealed her file. Just in case. She knew how hard this was for Lucy. She protected her. But Lucy knows... One day, it might all come out. And she doesn't know how to explain it to anyone. Especially not Tim. He deserves honesty. Their love is built on it. And this secret could break it all. Will it come back to haunt her?

Background information: - Tim and Lucy were not together, they were at the beginning of the friend stage - Lucy and Chris were not together - Tim and Ashley were not together - Angela and Wesley are together - Nyla and James are together - John and Bailey are together - Jackson is dead in this story - Grey, Angela, Wesley, Nyla, James, John, and Bailey all have bets on whether Lucy and Tim will get together or not

These aren't official things, just stuff I made up :)

These aren't official things that happen, just ideas I've come up with. I love the rookie and we need minimum 10 seasons. I would like to apologise to the Lucy fans for putting her through *trauma* in a lot of this.

During an LAPD awards night, Lucy and Tim get stuck together at the same table. They make a pact to survive the night by drinking through it. As the alcohol loosens their guard:Lucy admits she used to hate how much Tim got under her skin.Tim confesses that watching Lucy date other people drove him crazy. They both realise the attraction has always been there.Later, when the party winds down, they end up back at Tim's place after sharing a ride. The emotional tension that's been building for years finally snaps.

Hot, smut,

alot of you have been wanting this so here we go!

Detective Lucy Chen struggles with the scars of her past while starting a new chapter at the LAPD. When Tim Bradford slowly breaks through her walls, a slowburn romance unfolds amidst high-stakes cases, quiet moments of comfort, and unexpected vulnerability. A story of trauma, trust, and discovering the person who can truly heal your heart.

One year ago, Tim Bradford broke Lucy Chen's heart and walked away without explanation. Now Sergeant Lucy Chen is stronger, promoted, and determined to never let him close again. Until she's assigned to a four-month undercover operation. Living in a van. Posing as a couple. Driving from Los Angeles down the coast to Baja, Mexico. With her ex. Every touch is "for the cover." Every kiss is supposed to be fake. But the longer they're trapped together, the harder it is to ignore the tension, the memories... and the questions Lucy never got answers to. Because Tim didn't just leave. He hid something. And somewhere between fake love and real danger, Lucy is about to find out the truth - The real reason he walked away.
