Miss Me With That

Sweetie has spent most of her life navigating her career, faith, and the endless questions about when she'll settle down. At 34, she's successful as a marketing coordinator at a firm in Maryland, but tired of being the "fixer" for tough clients. She craves more—a role where she can lead, not just clean up the mess. Her love life, though, is a different story. Her best friend, Najeemah, believes in kingdom spouses and divine connections, but Sweetie isn't convinced. Past relationships and their complications have left her wary of the idea that God's plan for love is a sure thing. Enter Eli, her charming yet mysterious upstairs neighbor, who unexpectedly crosses paths with her at church. An engineer with dreams of starting his own company, Eli is grappling with his own restlessness—working in a role that doesn't quite fulfill his deeper aspirations. Their interactions are casual at first, but as they share stories of their pasts, their frustrations, and their dreams for the future, they begin to discover a connection that goes beyond just friendly neighbors. Sweetie's Southern upbringing in Texas and Eli's California roots create a humorous and heartwarming dynamic as they bond over shared faith, career struggles, and the wild twists of modern relationships. But as Sweetie navigates her own skepticism about fate and love, can she open her heart to the unexpected connection Eli brings? And will Eli find the courage to pursue the life—and the love—he's always dreamed of? Miss Me With That is a heartfelt novella about faith, timing, and the beautiful unpredictability of love.
