Prove It - Kala Markel

We've been each other's almost forever.

Alex Carmichael wants to prove he's more than his family's expectations. I've spent years trying to prove I'm more than the girl who waits. But when he walks away for an opportunity overseas, and I finally stop holding my breath for him, the distance between us grows wider than an ocean.

I've built my life on instinct, resilience, and refusing to wait for anyone to choose me. Still, walking away from Alex doesn't get easier just because it's the right thing to do.

Now, with careers on the rise and feelings we never managed to bury, we're forced to decide whether love is worth the risk of changing everything. Because some chances come once. And some heartaches don't stay in the past.
