Eight years ago, Ashanti da Silva was just 18-driven, focused and attending community college. Andre Morrison was 22, already deep in the streets and part of a gang. Their connection was fast, intense, and unforgettable, but short-lived. Ashanti had a plan: finish college, work, earn a scholarship for her bachelor's, and chase her master's degree with everything she had. Love, especially the kind Andre gave her, was a beautiful distraction she couldn't afford. So she walked away from the only man who ever truly made her heart race. Now she's 26 and Andre's 30.
