At twenty-two, Y/N is balancing work and raising her three-year-old daughter, Patience, on her own after becoming a mom at nineteen.

Between late-night conversations, quiet moments, and the way her daughter starts to adore him, Y/N finds herself wondering if letting Steve in could mean finally finding something she thought she’d lost: a chance at love—and a family.
