Coming back to work two weeks after Jackson's funeral, Lucy's looking for something to take her mind off the constant reminders of him, including his recently vacated room in her apartment. As a newly acquainted friend (and nothing more) Tim asks for Lucy's help on a favor that will take her out of LA for the weekend. How much more twisting can her heart take before Tim threatens the structural integrity of her carefully constructed boundaries? Cross posted on ao3
