Turning 23 he wants to be able to come home and see his women cooking for him and love him on the regular. Cam might be a bad boy and Isis be a good girl but maybe these two might need one another in their lives. You know what they say, opposites attract.

"Your heart has no concept of time, if it wants to move on, it will. With or without you,"

"I promise-I don't care how hard it's gonna be or how long it takes because when it's my time, when I'm up and it's my turn to fly, I'm taking you to the sky with me, I can't do it without you," They never expected it to happen this way.
