Summary
There’s a little jingle that quickly moves from a distance, right to the doorway, and suddenly, there’s a very good dog, sitting and staring at her with a curious expression.

Summary
It starts with a look.
At Angela’s wedding, Lucy Chen walks in wearing a green dress that leaves Tim Bradford speechless. For one fleeting moment, the world stills — just her, laughing under fairy lights, everything he never let himself want. And then everything falls apart.
Jackson is shot. Angela is missing. And the music fades into silence.
Thrown into grief and chaos, Tim and Lucy find themselves clinging to the only thing that still makes sense: each other. In the shadow of loss and uncertainty, something soft begins to bloom between them — quiet comfort, small glances, hands brushing as they pass in the hallway. A connection forged in fire and held together with everything they can’t say out loud.
As the city pulls them in different directions — undercover assignments, rescue operations, and emotional aftershocks — they keep finding their way back to one another. Through grief. Through healing. Through everything.
A canon-divergent reimagining of The Rookie Season 4, When the Music Fades traces the slow-burn love story of Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen — born not from grand gestures, but from the quiet spaces between heartbreak and hope.

“Tim,” she whispered, trying not to startle him. She placed a hand on his bicep and he instinctively tensed at the touch. As soon as his eyes landed on hers, however, she felt his muscles relax beneath her grip.
