"I love you Kieonna, I want you and only you."

"He wasn't mine. But God, I wanted to be his." It started with a stare. One moment. One boy. And suddenly, my world wasn't mine anymore. He was arrogant, reckless, and way too good-looking for his own good. I was just the curvy girl he once body-shamed in front of a whole class. So tell me-why did he start looking at me like I was the only one in the room? "We were always almost. Almost right. Almost real. Almost enough." What we had wasn't healthy. It was late-night texts, stolen glances, ghosted mornings, and the kind of love that leaves bruises on your soul. But I kept going back. Because sometimes, the people who ruin you... feel a lot like home. This isn't a fairytale. This is a slow burn. A beautiful disaster. A story of almosts.

Not in a world divided by caste, money, and expectations.

Radha, raised in a well-off but controlling household, learns early that affection is conditional and silence is survival. Seven years of friendship. One junior college that keeps them on different floors. Two families that would never understand.

Because sometimes, the hardest love to carry is the one you're never allowed to name.
