Perhaps, Ms. Dover

Professor x Student | WLW

Claire Dover (20) is standing at the edge of something she can't name.
It began with a single moment, an instinct to reach out, to care, before she even knew who the woman was. Just a stranger in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She didn't expect to see her again.
She didn't expect that the woman she pulled back from the road would later introduce herself as Professor Hartmann (39).

And Lyn?
She never meant to care.
She is the kind of woman who carries old grief like a folded letter in her coat pocket. But Claire is all sharp glances, quiet presence, and impossible timing.

Now, every look, every pause between words, threatens to unravel something they both try to hold together.

A slow-burn sapphic love story about restraint, proximity, and all the things we feel before we can name them.
