On an island where the sea never stays still, Aru'nei was taught to survive the tide, not follow her heart. She belongs to the Tìkara'aya, a clan shaped by sun and salt, where love is quiet and duty is heavier than desire. When an engagement is arranged in the name of peace, she accepts it, believing she can carry the weight.
Neteyam was raised the same way.
Their connection forms slowly, in glances held too long underwater, in words left unsaid, in the shared understanding of what it means to choose responsibility over want. What grows between them is gentle, restrained, and dangerous. Not because it is forbidden, but because it feels like home.
As the island shifts and alliances begin to fracture, they are forced to face a truth neither of them wanted to admit: some loves are not meant to be kept. Some people enter your life not to stay, but to show you what you are missing.
This is a story about the space between almost and forever.
About love that feels like the missing piece.
