🪦 He wasn't prepared. How could he have been?
*****
Tim is the sort of guy that likes to be prepared. He likes plans and strategies and contingencies. It helps him feel in control. The thing is, there was no way to prepare for losing you. He couldn't even fathom it, so how could he prepare for it? So when it happened... he'd taken it rough. But time moves on, whether his world has stopped turning or not, and he's really been trying to bounce back. You know what else he wasn't prepared for? Finding you standing on the doorstep tonight. He really was not prepared for this.
