Formerly known as "Just A Kiss." If you want to familiarize yourself with this story before reading, please go take a look at "Shorts," a book with short stories based on and inspired by songs. "Loving him was easy. Learning to love herself was the real story." Let's follow Karmine, a young woman trying to make sense of who she's becoming while facing the realities of her upbringing. From schoolhouse drama and dealing with abandonment to the quiet battles she fights within herself, Karmine had to grow up quickly-learned to wear strength like armor. But then there's him-the one person who's always there, no matter how messy things get. Him, his presence, are reminders that she doesn't have to face everything alone. He loves her loudly even when the world is silent. Love isn't just about grand gestures, but about the quiet moments that remind you you're still worth living. Karmine begins to see that healing doesn't always mean being unbroken. As she learns to open up and find her place in the world, she discovers that growing up simply means learning to love yourself just as loudly as someone else loves you.

Five years changed everything. Kalliope "Kali" Lawson is thirty, thriving, and finally in control of her life. What once felt overwhelming-juggling single motherhood and building her career-became the very thing that shaped her into the woman she is today. With her village behind her, Kali didn't just survive... she elevated. Now she's respected, focused, and unshakable. Amani "Mani" Xavier Knight is twenty-three and living a life most people only dream about. Drafted into the NFL during his second semester at Redwood State University, he went from college athlete to full-blown brand overnight. Money, fame, women-he learned fast how to navigate it all. His past? Including the scandal that once tied him to Ms. Lawson? Long forgotten... or so he thought. Because one unexpected run-in changes everything. Five years later, Mani finds out Kali has been raising a child he knew nothing about. Now, his world is flipped upside down. Kali isn't the same woman he left behind-she's colder, guarded, and not interested in reopening old wounds. Mani isn't the same boy either-he's grown, successful, and not used to being shut out. But beneath the anger, the tension, and the pride... There's still something there. Now add: A girlfriend who refuses to let go. A coach who's a little too interested in Kali. And a past that refuses to stay buried. Two people. A secret that changes everything. And a love story neither of them ever truly let go of. Tune in to see what happens when the past catches up... and refuses to be ignored.

Halo Watters didn't know anything about the streets. He knew the stories people told in church. The prayer requests whispered after service. The names mentioned when someone asked the congregation to pray for a family that lost a son. But Halo had never stood in a room where guns were part of a conversation. Never watched men settle problems with fear instead of words. His world had always been built around faith, patience, and the belief that people could change if they wanted to. He believed in forgiveness. In grace...In second chances. Princess Midnight didn't know anything about that world. Not the way Halo did. Church to her was something people went to when they wanted to feel better about things they had already decided to do. Faith sounded nice in theory, but in the world she grew up in, survival mattered more than sermons. Kingston Midnight didn't raise her to believe someone else would save her. He raised her to protect herself. To control situations before they got out of hand. To make decisions quickly. To never show hesitation in a room full of men waiting for a sign of weakness. Halo believed people deserved mercy. Princess believed mercy could get you killed.

I opened my mouth maybe to say it was okay, maybe to ask something but the words died when he suddenly leaned across the console, cupping my face between his large, calloused hands.
