Bakers Touch by KeiJuneArt

Morgan is going back to school, again. It's time to get cooking, and Morgan is on her third attempt at getting her life together. She's determined to win the cooking competition, leave her mother's house of sin, and take her brother, Peter, with her. Morgan is fed up with supplementing her mother's habits and being taken advantage of. All she wants now is to fight for the future she deserves. Confronting her mistakes, and accepting the things, and people, she cannot change is a harrowing thing to do when you're also tasked with caring for someone who can't defend themselves. With the stakes of a better life and a chance at freedom so close at hand, she does not have time to fool around or get distracted yet, there is something about Nikolai that makes her feel safe enough to talk about her problems and surprisingly, he reciprocates that sentiment by discussing his troubles. Having someone by her side that she can relate to and be open with, doesn't seem so bad. But what if that someone is revealed to be a Professor!? Just wait until Rebecca hears about this, surely trouble is bound to happen.
