At thirty-one years young, Amariyah Baker, a.k.a. Mari, didn’t have plans on being a single mother. But as a woman who is big on knowing her worth, she also wasn’t going to continue on in a relationship that no longer served her. A breakup was inevitable. However, a breakup and a baby being born within a few hours of each other wasn’t on her bingo card. Neither was the help of the fine YN, Jamel Jefferson, a.k.a. Melly. 
What starts out as a chaotic favor turns into something deeper as the two are thrust into an intimate, vulnerable moment that neither of them could’ve predicted. Over late-night calls, shared goals, and quiet baby cries, Melly and Amariyah find unexpected comfort in each other. He steps up when her child’s father steps in only to demand control and stir up drama. She listens, helping him navigate his past, challenging him to choose between comfort and growth.
