First loves cut the deepest... and some scars never heal.
Amaia Gardner swore she'd never return to Atlanta-not after the heartbreak that shattered her spirit and left her rebuilding the pieces miles away. Ambitious, driven, and fresh off a hard-earned glow-up, she's created the life she always dreamed of... just not the love she once believed in. But when tragedy drags her back to the city she fought to forget, so does the one ghost she never wanted to face: Cassius Harris.
Once the pride of their high school courts and the love of Amaia's life, Cassius had it all-until a devastating loss derailed everything. Choosing the streets over the spotlight, he vanished without warning, leaving broken promises and unanswered questions in his wake. Now he's back in her orbit with a past full of regrets and a heart full of what-ifs.
But time doesn't erase betrayal. And love doesn't come without consequences.
As emotions rise and old flames reignite, secrets unravel and blurred lines threaten to consume them both. He's no longer the golden boy she once adored. She's no longer the girl who waited.
What happens when unfinished business demands closure... and second chances come with a price?

With his parents troublesome separation, 19-year-old Kairo was growing into the man he once aspired to be like; his father. But just because he looked and moved like him, didn't mean that he was anything like the man who had fucked up a good thing with his mom, or was he? He had girls, older and younger gawking and chasing after him. His family saw him as one person but in their absence, touring the streets with young Zaire, he was a different person. Despite all of that, there was love brewing; old and new and Kairo was aware of one in particular. But how far would a person be willing to go for love? Would they die for it? Could he stand back and watch another man love the woman that his father should have? Kairo knew of the man in his mother's life even if she tried to deny things. The only question he had for his father was; What Will It Take? Zaire was a lot like his father in many ways but he was still a sweetheart but proved on many occasions that he had no problems with getting his hands dirty. When you put those two together, you were bound to get into trouble. Then we had Ava, baby girl was 20 going on 21 and had graduated high school with honors and earned her associate's degree in nursing and was currently working on her last two years to earn her bachelors in fashion.

They were playing for the Phoenix Suns for the time being until a newer opportunity presented itself and they visited as often as they could during the offseason.
