Y/N became a mother at sixteen. Three years later, she’s at Briar University with a three-year-old daughter, a small apartment, an Elementary Education major and one goal: Build the future Maisie deserves. Nobody at Briar knows she’s a mother. Then Y/N meets John Logan. He’s supposed to be harmless flirting. Instead, flirting becomes coffee. Coffee becomes dates. Dates become kisses. And eventually, Logan becomes her boyfriend. All without knowing the most important part of Y/N’s life exists. The longer Y/N waits to tell him, the harder telling him becomes. And Logan is starting to notice. She never spends the night. He can’t randomly come over. She disappears at certain times. Entire pieces of her life are completely closed to him. Logan thinks Y/N doesn’t trust him with her heart. He has no idea she’s protecting someone else’s. Because Y/N could survive falling in love with Logan and watching him leave. But if three-year-old Maisie falls in love with him too? That’s a risk Y/N isn’t sure she’ll ever be ready to take.
