Another story about the right person, the wrong time - over and over.
Aria and Rei click the way you only click with one person in a lifetime - instantly, completely, wordlessly. They act more than friends and less than lovers, and they both know it, and neither can say it.
Over six years and eleven thousand kilometres - a girlfriend with someone else's name, a boyfriend who should've stayed a stranger, a fight, a breakup, a lie told out of love, and an ocean - they keep almost finding each other.
Until the night she breaks down half a world away, and he gets on a plane.
A slow-burn about the two bravest cowards you'll ever meet, and the difference between the people you love and the people you finally let yourself keep.
They almost - every single time. And they're always there for each other anyway.
