Summary
“You hate talking about things like this,” she says, and she’s not wrong, but he also hates sitting across from her all day when he knows something is wrong. It’s a new feeling, over the past several months, and he doesn’t… hate it, but it is inconvenient.
“That has literally never stopped you.”
“It’s nothing, Tim.”
“Like I said, bullshit, Chen. Something’s wrong. Tell me.”
Tim can tell he’s close to winning, because Lucy is growing more and more tense as they volley back and forth.
“Tim, leave it alone,” she says, and she almost sounds serious. Tim glances over, hoping he hasn’t pushed too far, but he can see the way she bites her lip, and the way her eyes keep flickering to him and then away again, and he knows she wants to tell someone what’s wrong, she just doesn’t think she should.
“Lucy. Please. I can tell you’re not yourself, and if you get hurt because you’re too damn stubborn to just tell me what’s fucking wrong— ”
“Chris can’t get me off and I’m fucking horny, Tim!”

Summary
She's been lying for months, telling Tim she's fine while hiding bruises under long sleeves and flinching every time he gets too close. He sees it all, asks every day, and waits.
Then his phone rings at 1:03 AM, and the sound of her voice on the other end makes him realize almost was never going to be enough.- Language:
