When We Almost Were - a story about almost love, almost forever, and the goodbye that changed everything. "𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢," he said quietly, eyes full of a secret kind of hope. She smiled - because she wanted that too. Lena, 21, lives in a small town where dreams feel far away. Cal, 24, carries a heavy secret he can't share. They found each other when they weren't looking - two broken souls holding on to one impossible dream. They planned a trip to Nairobi, a fresh start, a new beginning. But sometimes, life doesn't let you take that flight. And sometimes, love means saying goodbye before hello.

Aria never imagined that she would see Oliver again, it had been many years since she had last seen Ollie. He was her best friends brother, and he was off limits, not that he ever noticed her. They had grown up together, attented the same schools, played playground games after school, and hung out at each other's homes. Suddenly right around middle school Aria started to get shy, and awkward whenever Ollie was present, and it got worse the older they got. She'd steal glimpses of him whenever possible, and yet, never admitted it to anyone, let alone Ollie. Then life happened, and they grew up, and they all went there separate ways. One day, Aria spots Ollie in the distance, and she immediately becomes entranced at the sight of him. Oliver was older now, but she quickly recognized him. She would know, as she had stolen many moments staring, studying his face, and she could definitely spot those eyes anywhere. They are suddenly forced to face each other, and she realizes that she quickly becomes that awkward shy school girl all over again. He is familiar to her, but yet, still different, as he is a soldier who hasn't quite left the battlefield. Standing so close to him, she can't help but try to steal a closer look at him, but she quickly realizes that this time- he is staring back at her, and he isn't even trying to hide it. His eyes are immediately locked on her at the first sight.
