rating: Teen pairing: aaron dingle/robert sugden word count: 6500 summary:

Robert has taken to moving around the village like a ghost who’s afraid of taking up too much space as he haunts. Given the spectacle he’d been making of himself even as recently as a couple of weeks ago, it’s a concerning U-turn.  Robert isn't as okay as he seems in summer 2025. Aaron is determined to get to the bottom of why that is.

"You said you wanted to take me down to the station to call my parents, well, there's no need now, because he's my dad and he's here, so." "Is that right?" the officer sneers at her, the grip on her wrist not loosening at all, and Robert reacts before he thinks it through. "It is, actually," he says, stepping closer to the two and letting the frustration of the morning seep in to his voice, "and I'd love to know what the hell you think you're doing manhandling my daughter like that?" Liv learns to rely on Robert
