Kenya is on top of the world as one of the world's most successful rising businesswomen. But she quickly learns she can't have it all. Something must give and she has to make a choice between her dreams or the love of her life.
"This where baba saved mama from the hood of Fayetville." Odell had Livy in his arms and we were walking toward Death Valley. LSU's stadium.
"O don't play with me." I rolled my eyes.
He laughed and stood by the Tiger outside the stadium.

"Snap a pic of me and Stink." He turned to face me.
"Livy say cheese." He gave a cheesy smile.
She giggled.
"Look at mommy." He pointed to me.
Livy looked. I prepared the camera then waived.
"Smile Stink." I smiled.
O chomped her cheek. She giggled and I snapped the pic.
"Oh, man baby it's so adorable." I showed O the pic.
"Let's do one together." He said.
I put my lips on O's cheek.
"Stink kiss baba cheek." I demonstrated.
She did long enough for O to take the pic.
I looked at it and tears immediately began to flow. I wiped my eyes.
"Ahh don't start that." O grabbed me into a hug into his chest and kissed my forehead.
"I'm just proud of us baby. Like, I never knew when you walked in for me to tutor you, we would achieve all this. And I just wish mama could see. You know. She would be so proud." I smiled through the tears.
"She was proud before that. Cause everything you doing, she already dreamt it. I believe she dreamt us and she dreamt Livy. And your business and my career. Trust me, Mama Morris already knew we would be here." He kissed my lips.
"You right." I wiped my eyes. "I remember when she first met you, I was doing your laundry cause you had shrunk all your clothes. And she was going on this rampage and then you walk in, with your belly top, abs out, and she's like...you the devil, because you were so cute. You remember?" I chuckled looking at O.
"I remember everything. The nights we spent here alone after practice. My getting hurt in the national championship game. The beginning of our tradition. I cannot forget. And it makes me remember why I held on so long to you. Even when I wanted to let go."
"Ahh baby." I hugged him and kissed him.
"Let's go inside." O grabbed my hand and we went inside the stadium.
It was dark, but as we walked onto the field the lights came on.
