Jerome is August’s first boyfriend. Before August is even allowed to leave the family’s apartment in Brooklyn, Jerome sees her through the window and winks at her. Years later, they start dating even though he’s several years older. When August refuses to have sex with him, though, he dumps her and starts dating Sylvia—something that destroys Sylvia and August’s friendship. Shortly thereafter, Sylvia becomes pregnant with Jerome’s daughter.
