    Summary

    The first time that Hester was called a mother, there was no baby in her arms. It wasn’t in a maternity ward with a handsome man holding her hand as most mothers-to-be awaited eagerly for. Instead, it was in the familiar backdrop of the typing pool, with a mortified young woman stood behind a desk like a deer caught in the headlights.

    Miss Leslie was far from the first girl to look up at Hester with wonder in their eyes upon reiterating ‘it’s Miss Leggatt,’ even if she was the first person to call Hester ‘Ma’ in the midst of a workplace conversation. She’d needed a lot of guidance it was true, but it didn’t take a genius to elicit from Jean’s clipped comments that she wasn’t getting any at home. If it took Hester mothering her a little more than etiquette allowed for Jean to find her feet, then she was glad to do it.    

    [or, when Hester and Jean find themselves adrift, they find solace in the presence of each other]

    Summary

    “But the last few days, it-it’s been happening again. I fall asleep and I see you, but you’re not breathing and there’s blood everywhere and then I wake up and I have no idea what’s real and what’s not or where I am or where you are. I’m just so… so tired.” Charles finished with a heavy sigh, shoulders sagging and eyes glassy.

    The feeling that they were too young to have such heavy burdens wasn’t exactly a new one, but it did feel more true in that moment than it ever had before. He tried, rather desperately, to think of something, anything, that would help ease that bone-deep tiredness he knew all too well, but he came up short. It wasn’t fair, Charles always seemed to know the perfect thing to say that would calm him down and Monty wanted to help this person who he cared for so much that it genuinely frightened him.
