They didn't meet under perfect circumstances.
Zola's guarded, with a past that taught her silence is safer than being misunderstood.
Marcell's been burned before-by love, by trust, by the people he considered family.

But something about her lingers. And something about him feels different.

In a world where betrayal often comes from the ones closest to you, and loyalty is tested at every turn, these two don't fall in love the easy way-they build it.
Slow. Honest. Unapologetically real.
No games. No cheating. Just two souls trying to navigate life, love, and the healing that comes in between.

Zariah Hart's been quiet since the night she lost everything, and moving to The Palisade at Skyview Apartments was supposed to give her a fresh start. No expectations. No questions. Just peace. But peace gets complicated when a man like Omarion Jordan starts showing up in it. He's nothing like she expected. Tatted, quiet, with eyes that read people better than they speak. A mechanic with a past he doesn't explain-and a presence that says more than his mouth does. He doesn't ask about her silence. She doesn't flinch at his reputation. Somehow, that's enough. What starts as simple glances turns into shared space. What feels like comfort turns to something neither of them planned for. But Atlanta doesn't forget what people try to bury. And sometimes, the loudest truth is the one you never say out loud. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐄 πŸπŸŽπŸπŸ“
