GABRIELLE: I've been avoiding risk my whole life. That's what you learn to do growing up well off in a place like Detroit. This is a city that knows how fast things can turn. That white boy made me forget all that. A few moments in his presence and I was consumed by a madness. I did things I never dared dream of. But it doesn't feel wrong. It feels like freedom. He's from the wrong part of town. He makes a living out of violence. He's a risk in my unblemished life. One time was enough of a flirt with danger. The problem is, he might just have me addicted. SEAN: I've fought for everything I've got in this world. My fists and my body won me a new life - away from the squalor of my South Detroit past. Now I'm starting to get my reward: money, fame, girls. The waitress was just supposed to be one of many. Black girls weren't even my type, but something about her set me off. Everything about her screamed class - a word that had never been in this poor boy's vocabulary. I thought I just wanted a taste of it. Turns out it's not the thrill I'm after. It's her. I've gotta show her that I can be more than my body. She wants me to fight for her heart? Girl, get ready to be knocked out.
