At 2:47 AM, Ariyon Patterson makes a desperate call to a hotline she isn't even sure exists. Shaking, breathless, still reeling from a night of binging and purging, she expects either silence-or worse, judgment.
Instead, she hears her.
Dr. Savannah LaMoore, psychologist and caregiver, has spent years tending to others through the SafeNest hotline. But when Ariyon's trembling voice reaches her in the dark, Savannah recognizes something deeper: the fragile little girl hidden beneath layers of shame, control, and hunger.
What begins as one late-night crisis call unfolds into a delicate, unexpected journey. Each conversation untangles another thread of Ariyon's loneliness-her secret little space, her beloved bunny Hoppy, her body that never feels like "enough." And with every patient word, every remembered detail, Savannah builds something Ariyon has never known: a place where rules are safe, softness is allowed, and love doesn't have to be earned.
But recovery is not linear, and trust isn't built in a single night. As holidays loom, family pressures tighten, and old wounds claw back to the surface, Ariyon must decide if she can surrender to Savannah care completely-or if she'll retreat into the spiral that has always consumed her.
