Keeping Our Promise
Khrome Carter never had the luxury of being a kid.
At seventeen, he's already a second father to his four younger siblings, raised by a single mother who works double shifts just to keep the lights on. Basketball was supposed to be his way out. Love was never part of the plan.
Soulynn Bennett was raised to be perfect.
Straight-A student. Church every Sunday. Home before dark. The oldest daughter in a strict household where reputation is everything and feelings are optional. She's always been the strong one - the quiet one.
Until two pink lines change everything.
Now love feels heavier.
Friends feel distant.
Parents feel like enemies.
And childhood feels over.
In a city that expects them to fail, Khrome and Soulynn must decide:
Will they repeat the cycles that raised them...
or break them?
Because keeping a promise is easy.
Growing up is not.
