I came to America to study... not fall in love. Bright-eyed and innocent, college was like stepping into a world I never knew existed. I needed a knight-in-shining armor. He needed a distraction from his demons. The lines were drawn, and I never thought I'd cross them. But I did. Oh, how I did. My name is Sariyah Phillips, and I gave my heart to a broken soul. Now there's no backing out, no Mommy and Daddy to tell me what's right or wrong, no pastor tethering me to the values I grew up with. If I walk this road—when I walk this road, I'm on my own. Life is about to get complicated.
