Over Time

Five years ago, Mia Carter made the hardest decision of her life. At sixteen, she was accepted into Westbridge, her dream college, giving her the chance to leave New York behind and build the future she'd always wanted. There was just one problem, Kairo Banks, her best friend, her first love, and the one person she never imagined leaving behind.

Now, at twenty-one, Mia is back in New York for her brother Malik's funeral. She plans to mourn him and return to the life she built far away from home, until she sees Kairo again.

The boy she left behind is gone. Kairo is older, colder, and now the top dog in the city, living the exact life Mia once tried to escape.

But five years apart didn't erase what they felt for each other.
