  the plot.

  
  

  Maureen and Oliver Nelson have always wanted the world for their twelve-year-old child, Saffron. They want her to have the best things in life, the best clothes, the best toys, the best education – and so on. So, it was no surprise that the married couple decided to take a trip to one of the most pristine universities within their area to scoop out the bar their daughter needed to reach to be able to attend. That’s where they met Rohan; a twenty-three-year-old student who was on his way to completing his Masters in Education. What made Rohan stand out from all the other students? Well, Rohan was riding on a scholarship. His time spent at the university wasn’t because Mummy and Daddy paid their way through; he got there through will power and brains.
  
  And it inspired the Nelson family.
  
  Luckily for them, Rohan worked as a private tutor to help pay the bills at home. They exchanged information and within a week, Rohan was on their doorstep and ready for their first private tutoring class together. And he has done so for almost a full year now. Tutoring Saffron three times a week for two hours each day, Rohan has slowly become part of the family. Even when he’s not technically working, he is willing to spend time with Saffron. Whether it was playing basketball with her and the neighbour kids or jumping onto the X-Box to play some games, Saffron was like a little sister to him.
  
  As Rohan became more apart of the family, spending additional time around the house, it gave him the opportunity to get to know Maureen. He also began to pick up on the tension between Maureen and Oliver. In saying that, Maureen also took more notice in Rohan. She began to learn more about his home life, noticing and picking up on subtle injuries along the way. But that’s not all she’s starting to notice about him… And the feelings are mutual.

  timeline.

  
  

  prior to chapter one

  
  Rohan has been Saffron’s private tutor for close to a year now. He has noticed there is a lingering tension that has been slowly growing between Maureen and Oliver, but tries to avoid getting stuck in between it.
  
  Maureen has really been enjoying having Rohan’s company around the house and loves seeing the little bond he has created with Saffron. But some deep feelings are starting to loom in the pit of her stomach.
  
  Saffron is completely and utterly head over heels about Rohan. He’s all she talks about at school to her friends and teacher, and she absolutely loves Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays because it means she gets to spend time with him. She loves how he actually takes the time of day to listen to her talk and shows interest in the things she is saying.
  

  
  
  

  chapter one

  
  It's a Monday night, and Rohan and Saffron's tutoring session has come to an end. Saffron, having spent the last three days without seeing Rohan is desperate for more time with him. Therefore, she begs her parents to let him stay for dinner.
