Verena Hollis has never known her biological father, and has no desire to. The coward of a man had gotten her mama pregnant in high school then up and disappeared the second he found out. His whole family had disappeared actually. No one heard from the Marks again. Her mama, Carina Hollis, bless her heart, thought his parents had forced him to move because they didn't want a black woman to be apart of their family. And that could've been the case. But if is was, he still didn't come back for her once he was eighteen. So yeah, Verena has no reason to like the man standing before her at her mama's high school reunion.
And with her view of love tainted, she wants nothing to do with the blonde that keeps showing up to the gym she works at. Everyday. No one can need to workout that much. Her best friend, Noelle, is playing an obvious game of matchmaker with the two of them, enlisting help from her date who happens to be his friend.
