Everything Chenford

Not to be an Obnoxious Shipper, but I just think it’s so interesting how Chris Sanford was written to be at his core just *careless* with Lucy. From their first meeting till the very end of the relationship, he kept making mistakes that hurt Lucy or just were careless of her feelings. Like, the unthinking cruelty of singing the song that she sang while she thought she was going to *die*, insisting on looking for houses while she clearly was not okay, to being condescending about her job. And I am not going to say Lucy wasn’t hiding in her relationship, but that’s the thing. She spent her entire relationship masking her actual feelings. Lucy Chen who we know as the most empathetic person, who loves to talk through how she’s feeling, who’s so expressive, her boyfriend couldn’t ever tell when she was upset. It took Tim Bradford two seconds to see how upset she was, but Chris didn’t. Chris is interesting to me because he’s not a bad guy, he was just so careless that Lucy could never love him. She could never love the guy who was careless enough to have to be taught about justice, or careless enough to sing the song of the most traumatic experience of her life, or so careless to continuously bombard her with houses on a terrible day.  Chris only ever saw what he wanted to see, and if he hadn’t been so careless, he might have been able to notice that Lucy wasn’t actually happy. My two cents anyway.
