summary — maia believes in undying love. before love she believes in the small things which whisper in its midst; patience, kindness, & silent reverence. easily, those are traits she tries to cultivate and instill into others—so naturally her choice was to teach. when genevieve “evie” burrow waltzes into her kindergarten classroom, that belief feels simple enough to push. evie’s bright, a little pushy, but fragile along the edges—her father, joe burrow, understands that better than most. being a father came early; sometimes he thinks too early. responsibilities piled higher and higher on his list. and somewhere between the lines of football practices, late night film sessions, and bedtime stories—joe learned to keep his heart guarded. but kindness has a way of slipping through the pocket better than any defense.

warnings — angst , abusive language , complicated relationships , substance use ( smoking, drinking ) , sexual references , past infidelity , parental abandonment , attachment issues , mild power imbalance , discussions of childhood emotional development , and emotional tension.

dynamics — single father (joe) x teacher (maia), slow burn, mutual pining, sunshine/reserved, gentle romance, age gap (~3-4 years), friends to lovers adjacency, symbolic gestures.

author’s note 🪞 • i’ve been planning this out for a minute now & i’m very excited to publish it!! expect a first chapter in a 2-3 days.
