She's a lash tech with big dreams and a quiet kind of confidence-until one night at a party changes everything. When King Von, Chicago's most magnetic rapper, starts showing her the kind of attention that makes the world blur, Carlissa knows it's dangerous territory. But chemistry doesn't ask for permission.

"You can't see the future. I might have a chance. You don't know for sure." He mumbled, making her expression soften. "M-my mom used to tell me t-that birds still sing even after a storm. Why shouldn't people feel as free t-to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?" Samir stopped talking for a moment to regather himself so that he didn't stutter, but Nina froze completely.
