Say Yes: Solana Houston, a gifted chef and former R&B singer fighting her way out of a toxic relationship, finds unexpected hope when Vice President Kamala Harris visits her restaurant. What begins as a simple small-business stop turns into a quiet connection neither woman can ignore. This story contains violence, drug abuse, physical abuse, and strong language. Please read with caution. This is an older story of mine, now rewritten and retold primarily from Solana's point of view, with expanded detail and improved storytelling.

A few years before a historic presidential election, California Governor Barack Obama and California Senator Kamala Harris are caught in a whirlwind of near-misses and unfulfilled promises. Determined to make her his First Lady-both in love and politics-Barack races against time within the years leading up to the election to rekindle the college-era dreams they once shared. As they navigate the complexities of their careers and personal lives, they must confront the ultimate question: are they meant to be endgame or is it only a fleeting dream?

Yasmine and Kamala try to ignore what they shared is proving harder than either expected. Because what they had... never really ended. Some lines, once crossed, are impossible to redraw.

"Kamala couldn't remember much. All she could focus on at the moment was the blood on her shirt and the way Doug looked up at her as he started to drift off to sleep. Her Secret Service team looked at her in horror, unable to fathom how this could have happened." COMPLETELY FICTIONAL!!!!
