Description: Just a short Tim/Julie drabble.

She lies in bed, unable to sleep. The vision of them dances in front of her eyes, haunting her vision. It was a coupling previously unthinkable to everyone in Dillon, herself included. As she thinks of the picture they made today she can't help but remember all the things he should have done but didn't. The things he could have been, but wasn't. The person she wanted, but he could never be. When suddenly a realization strikes her. It's so obvious now that she feels ridiculously stupid for not noticing it before. Whenever she looked at him she saw what he wasn't, but whenever Julie looked at Tim, she saw beneath the surface to what is. She looked at him and saw everything and loved him in spite of and because of it.

Lyla Garrity couldn't compete with Julie Taylor for Tim Riggins' heart... she'd lose.

The End.
