"Solè, why'd you stay?" "Because, Zaire... you the first thing that ever felt worth staying for." ❀ 🝳 ❀ Harlem held the noise. Solè gave Zaire the quiet. Zaire Knox, Harlem's quiet storm, known for his ties to the streets and a gaze that read people faster than they could lie to him. Respected. Feared. Loved. With scars buried deeper than his tattoos, he never planned to love soft. Until a Harlem vinyl shop left behind by his late grandfather forces him to slow down, to breathe, to find his real purpose in the world beyond the streets. Solè Sinclair, soft but unbreakable, raised by her father after loss. By day, she serves warmth behind the counter of a café. By night, she disappears into her art, trying to paint the parts of herself no one ever sees. When their worlds cross, the city shifts. What starts off tense and unexpected turns tender. Together, they learn love can hold you just as fierce as the streets ever did, and softer, too. But love in Harlem always asks one question: what are you willing to risk when the heart wants more than the streets ever offered? A Harlem story. A hood love. A soft place to land. ❀ 🝳 ❀

"I think I'm in love with you." "Please don't tell me that.."

"We have a 911!" One of the ambulance guys yelled. "What happened?" I ask walking out to the front sliding my gloves on. "I don't know we got a call saying that some guy had been shot he was sitting in his car when some guys came up and opened fire." He replied. "Alright follow me," I say walking back into the hospital. I was just about to go home to my six-year-old daughter Alexis who was staying at my mom's house with my Lil sister Anita I was supposed to be home hours ago but some things had come up so I kind of had to stay behind. "Okay on the count of three." "1...2...3..." I yelled as we laid him up on the table. "Now that we have that out the way let's find out who this person is," I say removing the mask from his face. Tears started to escape my eyes as I looked down at the guy laying in front of me. Never in a million years did I think I would see this guy again my first love my first everything. I remember when I first met this man.
