Yasmin thought her one night stand with a handsome stranger in Miami, was just that. Never expecting to see him again, her world is turned upside down when she crosses paths with him again, leading them both on a journey of self reflection, healing...
"Baby girl how are you doing how is everything in Houston?," my dad asked over a Facetime call.

I can't help but to smile at my dad, I miss and love him so much.
"Everything is going good so far dad. It's been a couple of months now, but I am loving the hospital I work at. Plus I may be getting a second job bartending just to make some extra money," I responded.
"Baby girl are you sure? Do you need me to send you some extra money every week?," my dad offered.
"Dad you're so sweet, but I got it. You have always taken such good care of me, but I don't mind working an extra job a few nights a week. It will help me meet people too."
"Ok baby well if you need anything you let me know. I mean it. You know I got you."
"I know dad I love you. I miss you so much," I said feeling myself become a bit emotional. I love my dad with all of my heart. It's just been me and him for a while. My mother passed away when I was just 10 years old. I lost my beautiful, caring, sweet mother, and my father lost the same in his wife and soulmate. Even when he was grieving and so sad, he made sure I had everything I needed and more. Always so loving and supportive. Don't know where I would be without him.
"Baby girl I miss you more. You've always been here in Miami. But...I am so very proud of you for taking the venture to Houston. I know you love your hometown, but I understand wanting a change of scenery especially after what you went through."
"Yeah dad thanks for understanding. I was....just sick of him and her and I just had to get away."
"I know baby....I'm so sorry they hurt you that way."
"It's ok I'm doing better every single day."
"Met any nice men out there baby girl?" My mind instantly travels to Zayn. That fine ass man. He has no clue what he has done to me since our encounter seven months ago in Miami.
"No I haven't been on any dates or anything. Dad to be honest....I don't know how I am supposed to trust again," I said as my eyes became a bit cloudy with tears. My dad gives me a sad look.
"Oh baby. It won't be easy I can say that. But it's possible. Not all men are going to hurt you. There is someone special out there that will love you in the best way possible," my dad reassured me. I sigh a bit before nodding my head. I hear what he is saying, but for now I don't see myself really opening up to anyone in that way.
"....Yeah. You're right dad," I said while wiping away the few tears that slipped down my face.
"You're so strong baby never forget that."
"Thank you dad I love you so much."
"I love you more baby girl. Are you still ok if I come visit in a couple of months?"
