Summary
A study of Vanessa and Lucy's relationship after the abduction told from Vanessa's point of view...
Chenford Week 2026
Prompt: outsider POV
---The meaning was clear: You allowed this.
Vanessa didn’t allow anything. Lucy did what she wanted, and in the end all her pushing only pushed her away. However, in her mother’s view it’s clear who’s to blame here, and it’s not her granddaughter because: Parents guide their children.
And Vanessa didn’t.
“Call her,” she said as she indicated for Vanessa to refill her tea, and she did, later in the car, because it is hard to tell her mother no. But the call went straight to voicemail, and she left it at that; she didn’t know what to say anyway. She later found out second-hand how Lucy was doing—from her sister and, ironically, her mother.
Now she can’t call, even though she did, irrationally, right after hanging up, the words ping-ponging around in her brain: “Your daughter has gone missing. It’s very likely she and her boyfriend have been abducted.”

Summary
Lucy is momentarily rattled by the realization that yes, of course, they will be sleeping in the same room, likely with a few other teams, but the thought of sleeping next to Tim Bradford every night somehow hadn’t factored into how she had envisioned this would all unfold. In fact, she’s starting to quickly realize that she’d let the glamorous ideas of being on TV and traveling the world and kicking butt in the competition completely box out any practical consideration of what living here in this situation for the next few weeks will actually be like.
She’s jolted from her thoughts when she realizes Tim has come to a stop in one of the bedrooms, depositing her bags on what she assumes will be her bed, and is now pulling off his punch-soaked shirt in front of her.
Her eyes widen in surprise as she numbly processes that, yes, he looks just as good, if not better, as the last time she got to see this particular show.
Get a grip, Lucy tells herself; if the show is anything like prior seasons, she’s going to need to get comfortable with shirtless Tim Bradford and fast.

Summary
As she gets closer, Tim is immediately drawn to her wide brown eyes; they are broadcasting her emotional state for everyone to see — some combination of eager and excited and nervous. The polar opposite of the cool and guarded expression he is careful to keep on his own face.
Angela turns to look at him, clearly trying to gauge his reaction before she whacks him with her bouquet and hisses, “That is your soon-to-be wife, Tim, not your new boot, so maybe chill out with the death glare. You shouldn’t be trying to intimidate her.”
Tim ignores her; he begs to differ. This woman is supposed to be his wife. Chosen by supposed experts to be his life partner, his perfect other half. He is sure as hell going to be assessing whether she measures up to his standards. The fact that he already knows all of this is bullshit honestly just makes him that much more inclined to prove it.
When she reaches the end of the aisle, she stops in front of him and tilts her head to smile up at him in this sweet, hopeful way that he simultaneously finds incredibly endearing and incredibly irritating — like he holds her fate in his hands, and she is counting on him not to f*ck it up.

Summary
After Tamara's death, Lucy copes the only way she knows how—by calling her old phone number and leaving voicemails for the sister she lost.
What she doesn't know is that the number has been reassigned.
Tim Bradford keeps receiving messages that were never meant for him. But one voicemail becomes another, and before long he finds himself falling for the woman behind the voice before they've ever met. When their lives finally collide, the connection between them feels effortless—but it's built on the secret that he's been listening to her voicemails all along, and revealing it could cost him Lucy's love.
