What is wrong with him? I hate that he stares. I hate the feeling it gives me. It's unsettling... Blood rushes to my face... my head... It's... nauseating. And inconvenient. If he would just stop staring, I could get on with my life and my time here. So what if we've met before? He can continue to ignore me as he has been. I can do the same with no problem. None at all. I just... I want him to look away. I need him to. So I can breathe.

Family is meant to build you up. Be the safety net you need in this cruel world, but sometimes the poison that started from the ancestors carries throughout generations. For Ebony Keys, being part of such a dynasty forces you to segregate for sanity. Not that you can find much of it anyway, especially when your supervisor is a micromanaging monitoring spirit. A girl just has too much on her left. But then to her right there's him. Kazmir. The man she seems to be bonded to - a connection held by an invisible thread. The Red String. They are destined to meet and profoundly impact each other's lives, finding each other regardless of time, place, or circumstance. This thread may stretch but it never breaks. It remains intact forever. The only downside to forever is... "You were never mine. Not back then and definitely not now." I half expected him to be throwing questions, weh mi mean? or why mi say dat?- but this time it was pin drop silent. His eyes spared me only a quick glance before he had to refocus, his breath remaining steady even with my declaration. "Ebony..." his voice was slightly elevated. "Kazmir?" Mines shook a bit afraid of what his comeback would be. "First is forever."
