Sincerely, Sage is a heartfelt story, coming of age story, about first love, family, sacrifice, and the choices that can change the course of a life forever. Sage Woods and Kayomi Morgan were never supposed to make sense. He's the boy with too much weight on his shoulders. She's the girl who's spent her whole life doing everything right. But somewhere between late-night conversations, shared secrets, and stolen moments, they find something worth holding onto. The problem is, life doesn't always care about what you want. And some love stories are written in memories, regrets, and words left unsaid.

Legally, nothing about their relationship was wrong. Morally? That was a different story. She was eleven years older than him, his professor-and yet, she couldn't resist. Kamron, with his irresistible brown eyes, his honeyed voice laced with a hint of southern charm, and a smile that could stop you in your tracks, had her completely ensnared. Robin had seen the way he captivated everyone around him, and now, fate seemed to toy with her: the boy who embodied temptation living just beside her as her next door neighbor, his bedroom window staring straight into hers. Two forbidden hearts. One impossible desire. Window to window.

"Crazy thing is... I really thought I was over you." He rubbed at his jaw slowly. "Like foreal. Thought all that Army shit would've beat it out me or somethin'. Years passing... different states... different women... all that." He shook his head once. "Whole time that shit ain't do nothin' but make me realize wasn't nobody else you." Dakota stayed quiet, just listening while he leaned back deeper into the couch, tiredness all in his face. "You know how many nights I used to sit up while my daughter sleepin' just thinkin' 'bout old shit?" he muttered. "Thinkin' 'bout how bad I fucked us up. Thinkin' 'bout you probably somewhere happy as hell while I'm arguing with a woman that hate every damn thing about me." He looked down at his hands for a second before looking back at Dakota again. "But you?" he said quietly. "You always knew how to deal with me. Even back then when I ain't know how to deal with myself." His eyes moved toward the stairs where his daughter was sleeping before he spoke again. "I ain't gone lie, seeing my baby come home everyday talking 'bout 'Miss Dakota this' and 'Miss Dakota that'... that shit was fucking me up before I even knew it was YOU." He smirked a little at that. "Then I walk into that classroom and damn near forget how to breathe for a second." The room went quiet again before he finally leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. "I still love you, Dakota," he admitted finally, straight up this time. "Ain't no smooth way to say that shit. I tried moving on. Tried building somethin' else. Tried forcing myself to be happy with somebody else 'cause I figured maybe that was just life." He swallowed hard before shaking his head. "But every time something good happened... or bad happened... you was still the first person I wanted to tell."
