    Life gave its worse side to Luna all at once, having to deal with her fathers failing health and their financial struggles was enough frustration 
        Jamari on the other hand has none of that to worry about. Although growing up without his mother was saddening, his grandmother was there to stand in as a mother figure. Wealth was never the issue, born from a rich home and being a successful basketballer had its perks, but life had other ways to hurt Jamari, his father. 
        Luna's amazing culinary skills, and Jamari's affluence brings these two together, the universe has a way of being just to them both...right?
