Angol
Some feelings don't wait.
They fight.
In the quiet streets of Laurel, Maryland, where expectations are written before futures are lived, seventeen-year-old Nia Carter has always followed the plan.
Good grades.
Clear goals.
No distractions.
Especially not boys like Marcus Reed.
Marcus isn't part of her world-or at least, he's not supposed to be. He doesn't come with approval, structure, or guarantees. What he does come with is something far more dangerous...
Honesty.
Intensity.
And a love that refuses to wait.
What starts as a simple conversation across the street turns into late-night glances, secret meetings, and a connection neither of them can explain-or escape. But as their bond deepens, so does the risk.
Because Nia's parents aren't just protective... they're determined.
And Marcus isn't just interested... he's relentless.
Now, caught between the life she's been raised to live and the love she never planned for, Nia must decide:
Play it safe...
or risk everything for something real.
Because some love stories are meant to grow slowly...
...but this one? This one refuses to wait.
