Forever

They grew up on the same block.
Shared summers, secrets, and a love too young to know how rare it was.
Malik Carter stayed.
Aaliyah Monroe left.
When life forced Aaliyah to move away, what they had didn't end-it just went unfinished. Years passed. Feelings were buried. Silence replaced promises. Yet no matter how far she went or how much time passed, Malik remained the place her heart learned to call home.
Now, at twenty-three and twenty-four, fate brings them back into the same space-older, changed, and carrying the weight of who they became without each other. The love is still there. So is the hurt. So is the question neither of them ever truly answered:
What happens when the person who shaped your heart returns?
FOREVER is a tender, nostalgic Black romance about first love, separation, and the courage it takes to choose each other again. It's a story about growing up, growing apart, and discovering that some connections don't fade-they wait.
Because some love isn't meant to be forgotten.
It's meant to be finished.
