Summary
Charlie takes the breakdown of fees paper, eyes flicking over the numbers, the little girl tucked half-behind his leg. Then, almost under his breath:
“Didn’t realize it’d be quite that much.”
Nick’s heart stirs with something like guilt, or worry—a nauseating combination. “It’s a lot,” he admits. “But you don’t have to decide anything today. Just— have a look. Talk to Tara. We’ll figure something out.”
Charlie nods again, quieter this time. His thumb traces the fold in the paper. And before Nick's even thought it through, before he’s processed a fraction of what he’s feeling, he’s standing straight and tall, and the words are already leaving his mouth:
“Y’know, I just remembered— we’re actually waiving fees for new starters this term.”
It’s a lie. An outright lie. Nick doesn’t even know why he says it.

or: the nursery au where charlie shows up early on a monday morning with a toddler on his hip and fear in his eyes, and nick is the early years practitioner who notices.
