The drop off line at school was filled with many interesting people, and Nadine Clarke was definitely not one of them. Even if the rumor mill was buzzing about her husband ditching her and her two children, she was far from the talk of the town. There were others more interesting than herself like the leather jacket guy. She had her eye on him for a while, along with every other mom during drop off. He somehow always ended up in front of her every morning, until one afternoon when he ended up on the pick up line not looking so hot. His son had puked all over himself in the car, and leather jacket guy was beside himself. Nadine had seen that look from her ex before in the face of vomit, so she did what any mom would do and helped him clean up. Amidst the chaos of angry parents, Nadine introduced herself to find out his name was Lawson Bailey and he was a recently single father of one trying to figure out how to navigate divorce. Later that night at the bar Nadine waitresses at, she comes to find that Lawson was in the new band performing there. Upon realization she tripped over a chair leg and tumbled to the floor. Lawson jumped from the stage, stopping the show before it began, only to have Nadine's nervous stomach become upset all over him. Somehow their not so meet cute didn't deter the two from getting to know each other better, but when her son Jackson and his son Henry get into a fight at school, can both parents deal with the consequences of their children's actions while also falling madly in love with each other?
