What begins as teasing glances and sarcastic comebacks quickly spirals into something deeper-something Amina has spent her whole life avoiding. Between cultural expectations, family interference, and the chaos of a multi-day wedding, they're pulled into a dance of attraction, jealousy, and unspoken promises. But Amina doesn't believe in fairy-tale endings. And Zack isn't used to chasing what he wants. In a world where timing is everything and nothing is private, will they find the courage to cross the line from strangers to something more? A love story set against the vibrant backdrop of a Gambian wedding-full of stolen moments, heartfelt banter, and the kind of tension that refuses to be ignored.Complete
