23, exhausted, and hopelessly overwhelmed.
Fatima is a paralegal by day and a law student by night, but her most important job starts the second she gets home to three-month-old Alora. With her parents busy and the man she thought would be her "forever" long gone, Fatima is leaning on a thread that's about to snap.
Then there's Zac. A real estate agent who sees the girl behind the stroller and the heavy law books. He doesn't want to overstep, but he wants to be the person she can lean on.
As Fatima fights to build a future for her daughter, she has to decide: can she let someone in without losing the independence she's fought so hard to keep?

Still Us
Fatima Wilson has built a life rooted in responsibility, not passion. A dedicated Nurse Practitioner, a devoted mother to her three-year-old daughter Faith, and a woman trying to hold together a relationship that's been emotionally dead for years-she's doing what she believes is right, not what feels right. Zachary Taylor has returned home a successful business owner, disciplined, focused, and carrying the weight of a relationship that no longer fits the man he's become. His life looks solid on paper-but behind closed doors, it's draining him. When a chance encounter at a mall brings them face-to-face for the first time in fifteen years, everything shifts. Because before the broken relationships... Before the responsibilities... Before the distance... There was them. Best friends. First loves that never got the chance to be. And now? Old feelings don't just come back... They linger. But timing is complicated. Healing is messy. And love the second time around? It demands honesty. STILL US is a slow-burn, emotionally layered story about rediscovering love, choosing yourself, and realizing that sometimes... the right person was never lost-just delayed.
