Told through two character's eyes. . .
Joan and Ellis were never meant to be next door neighbours. Where Joan is bright and bubbly Ellis is quiet and reserved. They're polar opposites so it's not surprising that there have always been a few sparks between them for all the wrong reasons. They both knew they should stay away from each other but fate had other plans in store for them.
For the next several years they will continue to meet up by accident and every meeting will be different to the one before. No matter where they choose to go or whom they choose to date they will always end up together one way or another.
Will they listen to what fate is trying to tell them? Will they finally take a chance on love? Or will they continue to say "maybe next time. . ."?
