While watching her two best friends, Fatima Ward and Autumn Allen, move on in more serious relationships, she decides that it's time she give being in a relationship a try. As much as she wishes it could be with Trey, she knows Trey can't give her more. What started between them was based on sex, it was never meant to be anything more but "fun."
