Teddy ain't the golden child. Never was, never will be. Born to a woman the Josephs never claimed, Teddy grew up learning the difference between being family... and being tolerated. While his brothers are loved by their father. Teddy had one person in the family who didn't care how he was made Big Mama who always had his back since day one. Teddy stood outside the circle, learning how to love himself in the silence. But silence doesn't last forever. When Nay'Vee-his first love and the one who got away comes home carrying a broken past and a grown-woman secret, the fuse gets lit. Sparks fly, old wounds reopen, and the Joseph house, once held together by Sunday dinners and soul food, starts to feel more like a battleground. Love, rivalry, and secrets are buried deep like roots. This isn't just a family story. It's about finding your place when you've always been on the outside looking in. It's about Black love in its rawest, realest form. It's Hello Sunday-and nothing will ever taste the same again.

Salem had always been a bright light in a world that tried its best to dim her. She was a twenty-year-old woman with warm brown skin, a heart full of kindness, and hands that worked magic. Since she was eighteen, she had built a name for herself with her own nail business, a craft she poured her soul into. Her work wasn't just about making nails pretty-it was about making people feel beautiful, cared for, and heard. But behind her warm smile and soft voice was a childhood weighed down by hardship.

Sometimes life gets weird. You lose hope, then you'll fall down, but then you'll get back up again. Sage did. So hang in there; it gets better, with time. A short story.

just read and enjoy...🩷
