"We were never just friends. We were something softer. Something scarier. Something almost." Dafne Becker is just trying to survive architecture school-coffee-fueled all-nighters, impossible deadlines, and the occasional existential crisis. Jasper Klein is the golden boy next door: brilliant, charming, and maddeningly hard to define. They're neighbors, study buddies, blackout companions, and maybe-just maybe-something more. Between ramen nights, balcony talks, almost-confessions, and awkward silences, they orbit closer, never quite touching the word for what they are. But when new people, growing ambitions, and unspoken fears begin to shift their world, Dafne has to ask herself: What if "almost" isn't enough? A story about soft chaos, slow-burn romance, and the terrifying beauty of not saying what you really feel-until it's almost too late.
