Salae Amira Bennett came to college with a plan. Graduate. Become a neonatologist. Keep her hair laid, lip gloss popping, and maybe find a girlfriend that actually treats her right for once. Simple. But moving into an off-campus house near Peachtree State University with five strangers quickly proves that nothing about college is simple. Especially when one of those strangers is Aaliyah "Liyah" Monroe. Tall. Calm. Flirty. Annoyingly observant. And for some reason... always staring at Salae. At first they can't stand each other. Too many smart comments. Too much tension. Too many arguments in the kitchen at 2AM. But the more time they spend in the same house, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. Between messy friends, ex drama, jealousy, late night confessions, and emotions neither of them fully understand... Salae and Liyah might realize something dangerous: Sometimes the person you swear you'd never fall for... is already unintentionally yours.

"Fighting to keep us together, hope it's worth a try."

Derica Betton became mayor of Middlehurst, Virginia by accident. Rufus Saunders forgot to file his re-election paperwork because he was fishing. She filed hers on a whim. She won. She came home with her wife Serene, a plan, and infrastructure blueprints Serene had already finished before anyone asked her to. That's Serene. She sees a problem she knows how to solve and she solves it. The asking comes later. Now they have a decaying mountain town, a seven-figure infrastructure budget they have to earn before anyone will give it to them, a father who wants the stadium lights fixed, a mother whose grace covers gonorrhea, the lottery, and Savannah Miller's cooking in the same breath, and a sister who is live-streaming all of it to four hundred thousand people who have decided Middlehurst is the most important place on the internet. All Derica has to do is convince a town that has been told no for thirty years that yes is still possible. All Serene has to do is make sure it actually works. Betton It All is a story about broadband and sweet potato pie and what it actually means to come home.
