Nobody had any idea that you were a single mom, balancing the demands of caring for your baby while attending university. It was far from easy. Between financial struggles and the relentless passage of time, life was a constant hustle. Then, unexpectedly, the daycare announced it was closed for the day. With no backup plan, you had no choice but to bring your child to an important lecture.

As you entered the lecture hall, you crossed your fingers, hoping your little one would sleep through the session without any disruptions. Finding a seat at the back, you prepared for the worst. Just as the professor began the lecture, Simon walked in. Your heart skipped a beat. But why would he notice you? You were a single mom; who would want that baggage?

Simon took a seat just behind you, his eyes widening in surprise as he noticed the baby in your arms.
