Sade Adejo (Sah-DAY Ah-deh-JOH) has always lived a simple life - a middle-aged Nigerian woman in Chicago with a steady job, quiet routines, and no reason to believe she's anything but ordinary.
Until the dreams start.
Flashes of a car crash. The sound of sirens. A boy's voice calling out for his mother.
And a name she's never heard before.
Each night, the visions get stronger. Each day, the feeling of not belonging in her own skin grows heavier. Memories that aren't hers begin to haunt her, and soon, Sade realizes the impossible truth...
She's remembering a life she's already lived.
A life that ended too soon.
Now, as her past and present collide, Sade must uncover why she's been given a second chance - and what unfinished business still binds a soul to hers.
✨ What if the person you were before never really left?

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete
