As a young social worker in Chicago, she's used to helping everyone else while keeping the complicated parts of herself tucked away. Then there's Elijah Adebayo. Twenty one at the time , ambitious and confident, Elijah is building his name through Five Figures, a local streetwear business he's determined to turn into something bigger.

Because sometimes the person who disrupts your peace becomes the person you can't imagine your life without. And finding love isn't always the hard part. Sometimes, it's learning how to keep it. - POLO G
