**I WISH YOU WOULD** Chante loves Lamar. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself. He is the man she prayed for-the man she chose, the man who chose her, the man she is supposed to spend forever with. So why does forever feel so lonely? Lamar knows things about Chante that no one else does. Things she's done. Things she's ashamed of. Things he never lets her forget. And Chante has learned not to ask too many questions when his mood changes. She has learned to swallow her words. She has learned how to forgive faster than he does. Most importantly, she has learned how to keep her thoughts to herself. Especially the ones about other men. Because Chante may have a wandering mind... but she's never crossed the line. Not yet. Then one ordinary day, something changes. Chante stops fighting. And Lamar finally starts wondering why. **What happens when the woman who spent her whole life chasing love finally gets tired of being the one who holds on?** *Some desires are never spoken.* *Some mistakes are never forgotten.* *And some people don't realize what they have until they feel it slipping away.* **I WISH YOU WOULD**
