A mommy, a mama, and a little. What more could you want? She doesn't trust safety, because it's never lasted. But when she's placed with two women who refuse to give up on her, even when she pushes them away, she's forced to confront something more terrifying than fear... The possibility that this time, they might stay.

One is hiding from the world. The other is trying to find her place in it. Ellie is perfectly content with her single flat and her Criminal Minds marathon, and a healthy dose of Tumblr nostalgia-until MoonPetal45 enters the chat. As the pressure of her final year mounts, this online stranger becomes her greatest support. Dr. Pembrose knows the rules. As a professor, she should have blocked the charming, accident-prone student the moment she recognised her. But in the quiet of her new home, the line between mentor and admirer is blurring, and Ellie's frequent run-ins with gravity are making the doctor fall a little too hard.
