   Summary

   Belly Conklin was eleven when her family moved from Philadelphia to London, leaving behind more than just a house on Cousins Beach.

   Twelve years later, she’s built something new. Something entirely and uniquely hers.

   A PhD she’s finally settled into. A flat in Finsbury Park. A life that is steady, contained, safe.

   So when her supervisor casually announces she’ll be sharing her lab bench with a visiting MD/PhD student from Stanford, Belly does what she does best: complains, reorganises, and refuses to think too hard about it.

   It’s just a name.
   Just a new colleague.
   Just someone passing through.

   It doesn’t mean anything.

   (It couldn’t possibly mean anything.)

   OR: Conrad and Belly haven't seen one another since they were kids, until he shows up in her lab, forcing the two of them to share a space, share old memories, and perhaps share old feelings?
