Summary
Lucy Chen: A safe pair of hands for our repeat Gold Medal hopes?
His brain sparked. He remembered a late night sat on the couch with Stevie curled up against him, screaming and shouting when one young woman ended Canada’s relentless pursuit of gold.
Lucy Chen, the USA goalie. Lucy Chen who made Stevie want to play professional hockey. Lucy Chen whose poster graced the south-facing wall in Stevie’s bedroom.
That’s why she looked familiar.

Summary
Tim's breath choked, and he stumbled, hand lifting to reach out and touch her, to make sure she was real.. She was alive. Alive. Was this real?
How could Lucy be here, right in front of him? Within arm’s reach for the first time in what felt like forever…
—less than a year
—it felt so much longer.
She clocked his movement, and he watched the wariness lift, replaced by confusion that crumpled her features; her brow furrowed, her hand covered her mouth. “Tim? Is that you?"

Summary
Tim's not jealous of Emmett; he just wants to train Lucy to be the best she can be.

“Oh, please, I know you, Timothy. So spill, what happened?”
“Nothing. The plans fell through.”
“A date?”
“No,” Tim scoffed through the swoop in his stomach, like gravity had left the building, allowing the organ to float up and then returned with a vengeance to yank it firmly into place. “Just some extra training with Chen. Turns out she decided grabbing drinks with Emmett was more important.”

Summary
“Look,” Tim began, cutting her off before she could say anything more, “it’s not wrong to want a connection, but settling for someone is the same as settling for churros. Unsatisfying.”
“Churros are not unsatisfying.”
“They are when you want Tiramisu.”
“Not just any Tiramisu, but The Tiramisu from that restaurant.”
“Wow, so he’s epically failing on all levels.”
---
OR
---Lucy wants Tiramisu, but she's settling for Churros, and Tim's not going to accept that.

Summary
Below her, Jackson and his brother climbed into a silver truck and drove towards the lights of the highway in the distance, passing under the glowing Seasons Greetings sign. Lucy folded her fingers around the lingering warmth of her cup and tried to bask in the silence and solitude.
It didn't work.
It crept under her skin, itched from the inside out, honed in at her ribs.
Despite all the festive iconography around her, it didn’t feel like Christmas. No matter how hard she tried to force it.
So there was no point putting it off anymore. Time to go to work and, hopefully, find a successful way to avoid the soon-to-be Sergeant Bradford of North Hollywood.
OR
Lucy has to work on Christmas Day, a day filled with badly decorated Christmas trees, selfish Grinch-like characters, and a man she definitely should not be developing feelings for. Can she make it through? Can she have a Christmas miracle? (It's Christmas, of course, she can).

Summary
They’re sitting in his car together, paused at the end of his drive: Tim at the wheel, Lucy browsing dog-friendly restaurants and Kojo squeezed in the front between them, with his tongue out and a huge dummy grin on his face. He’s slowed down a bit this past year or so, but Tim could swear he’s perked up over the last few days, since Lucy came home. He wonders if the change is that noticeable in him too, and finds himself hoping that it is, hoping that the whole world can see it like a neon sign over his head: yeah, I got the girl back, actually. Yeah, she really loves me. Everyone in the whole world wishes he was me.
Tim and Lucy and Kojo go out to dinner after S8E02. It's not all smooth sailing, but that's okay, because the all-new, emotionally healthy Tim Bradford can do many hard things, like giving compliments and eating goat's cheese and talking about his feelings. But only for Lucy Chen, of course.

Six weeks of silence and his parting words, "time to move on" still echo in her mind, but the Tim-shaped void she encounters suggests something far more complicated beneath the surface. As Lucy pieces together fragments of truth from those around him, she can't shake the feeling that what awaits her will change everything between them. Some mysteries, once unravelled, can never be forgotten.
