Summary
Somehow you’d landed on the topic of the used car your father had helped you purchase. Your dad wasn’t an expert but knew a reliable car when he saw one and, the second you’d parked it back at the dealership after the test drive, he was already negotiating the price. The only issue with it, if you could call it an issue, was the dead headlight, and you’d brought up how you’d booked an appointment at the nearby auto shop to have it replaced.

Summary
Trinity opened her eyes, locking her gaze with Neo’s. He looked concerned. These days, it seemed like concern was the only emotion he felt when he looked at her and she couldn’t blame him.

Summary
Was it really so wrong that he was in love with her? Until now, she hadn’t even seemed to be aware of it so, clearly, he had been doing a good enough job hiding his feelings around her at work, but he would be lying if he hadn’t caught himself picturing what she looked like underneath her baggy suits as she dug through a filing cabinet or when she rested her hands on the desk and leaned over it as she questioned his latest theories. Maybe he hadn’t done as good of a job as he thought; maybe he did gaze at Scully.

She was being a brat, and he was more than a little excited at the prospect of giving her the “punishment” she was obviously craving.

Summary
Since their extraction, her biggest fear was that she’d lose him again, that she’d be torn away from him and forced to forget him and them, them and him, left utterly helpless and lost in the lives they’d never chosen, missing something that was just out of reach. The very thought was enough to send her spiralling, but the sound of Neo’s soft breathing and the gentleness of his touch brought her back.

Summary
The Matrix Resurrections as told from Tiffany/Trinity's perspective.
Trinity has always meant so much to me. She's such a complex character that we, unfortunately, don't get to see much of throughout the four Matrix films. Yes, we see her but we don't know much. In Resurrections, we know even less. Her suffering in the movie is implied - she has a family and three kids. While Thomas/Neo's suffering is clear, I wondered what it must have been like for Tiffany/Trinity.
This series is a place for me to try and explore what makes Tiffany/Trinity who she is, the emotions she struggles with, and the thoughts and feelings she has each time we see her on-screen.

Summary
When your high-powered marketing career goes up in flames, you find yourself back in Texas and out of options—until your old childhood best friend Tommy Miller offers you a job at his family’s growing construction company. The only catch? His older brother Joel, the project manager with a chip on his shoulder and zero patience for your city-slicker attitude.
You clash instantly: you’re clever, confident, and painfully corporate. He’s quiet, rugged, and set in his ways. You push his buttons. He pushes back harder. But somewhere between long meetings, late nights, resurfacing memories, and hurt, along with one very unexpected work trip… the tension starts to shift.
What begins as bickering turns into banter. Glances linger. Walls crack. And neither of you is quite sure when things started to change.
