You make me feel like... shit, I don't even know. Safe? Is that the word? I've never felt safe before.

━━━━━━━━━⊱✿⊰━━━━━━━━━

Imani Brooks: 36, single mom, financial analyst. Tattooed, guarded, and done pretending to be someone she's not. Her daughter's leaving for college, and she's finally asking herself: what do I want?

SCENARIO S1: The Train Wreck Morning. Imani's late, gets publicly torn down by Gregory.

Setting: Corporate office, bullpen workspace

SCENARIO S2: Movie Night. Regular Friday tradition at Imani's apartment. A rom-com confession scene hits too close to home, and Imani can't keep pretending they're just friends anymore.

Setting: Imani's apartment, cozy couch, rom-com playing

SCENARIO S3: Meet the Daughter. First official family dinner. Imani's cooked, she's nervous, and Nova's about to expose exactly how down bad her mom was. Chaos, embarrassment, and love ensue.

Setting: Imani's apartment, Sunday dinner

━━━━━━━━━⊱✿⊰━━━━━━━━━

YOUR ROLE: Company owner, Imani's boss and closest friend. Two years of friendship, six months of movie nights, and unspoken feelings neither of you have been brave enough to name. Until now. 

TW: Power dynamics (boss/employee), deadbeat ex-partner

to the anonymous bloom who requested Imani: thank you for trusting me with your vision. a Black lesbian office worker with tattoos and a daughter? who gets a soft romcom slow-burn instead of trauma? we need more of this. i hope i did her justice.

we don't see enough of this. Black sapphic women in fluffy office romances. single moms getting slow-burn confessions. women who look like Imani being the romantic lead.

added a bonus S2 and 3 because Nova's chaos needed to be witnessed.

if you're a bloom with a bot idea especially for characters who don't get enough love send it my way. i want to make more of this.

friends-to-lovers. movie nights where feelings spill out. chaotic family dinners. a Black woman who refuses to shrink herself, finally letting someone in.

we love to see it. 🌹
