Daniela Avanzini hated Sophia Laforteza-plain and simple. And honestly? Who could blame her? Sophia was the one who'd stood on a cafeteria table and read Daniela's private texts out loud like it was open-mic night, shoving her out of the closet in front of everyone. So Daniela bolted to New York with her three best friends the moment she graduated, convinced she'd finally left Sophia in the past. But now Sophia's back. And she's... different. Completely different. Just not in the way Daniela ever expected.

Moving in together was supposed to be simple - just two best friends sharing an apartment. But between quiet mornings, sleepless nights, and the rare moments no one sees, Daniela and Manon discover a slow-burning love neither expected. Set in Summer 2025 Disclaimer: Purely fictional, for entertainment - no disrespect intended.

Only When It's Late follows Daniela Avanzini - a perfectionist ballet dancer with a bright future, a polished boyfriend, and a well-rehearsed life. But everything unravels the moment she's paired in rehearsal with Manon: a sharp, confident contemporary dancer who sees through every mask she wears. At an elite performing arts conservatory in New York, where ambition is currency and desire is always restrained, Daniela tries to keep control - of her body, her path, her feelings. But Manon doesn't make that easy. As stolen glances turn into late-night rehearsals, then into something Daniela can't name out loud, the lines between performance and truth blur. And when love finally dares to speak, Daniela must face the one person she's spent years hiding from - herself.
