Sariyah Amara Jameson thought she had it all-a thriving career, a close-knit family, and a long-term boyfriend everyone assumed would soon become her husband. But beneath the surface of her seemingly perfect life, a restless ache lingered. When her younger sister shares the joyful news of her first pregnancy, Sariyah's patience finally snaps. Tired of waiting for the proposal she's always dreamed of, she takes matters into her own hands.
Her bold leap of faith backfires spectacularly. Not only does her boyfriend turn her down, but he suggests they simply carry on as if nothing happened-leaving Sariyah humiliated, heartbroken, and questioning everything she thought she knew about love.
Cue one disastrous night out, too many cocktails, and a confession she never saw coming: her brother's best friend-the same one who's been around since forever-has secretly been in love with her the whole time. Now she can't stop replaying his words... or noticing how good he looks when he smiles at her.
But choosing him means unraveling the life she has carefully built, and stepping into a future full of unknowns. For the first time, Sariyah must ask herself what she truly wants-and whether she has the courage to chase after it.
