Deville and Nicole first locked eyes in high school - a fleeting moment, nothing more than a hallway glance and a smile exchanged at a bus stop. Life happened fast after that. Deville got caught up in the streets trying to provide for his siblings. Nicole was focused on escaping the hood through books and ambition, but her home life was falling apart behind closed doors.
They never got the chance to speak, let alone fall in love - but neither forgot that one look.
Years passed. They're both in their early 20s now - grown, scarred, and still trying to figure it all out. One night at a mutual friend's backyard kickback, fate spins the block. They lock eyes again, and it's like time rewinds. Only this time, neither of them plans on letting the moment pass.
But love in the hood ain't simple. Old flings, secrets, and street ties run deep. And just when things start feeling real, one bullet might change everything.
