Almost Is Never Enough

In a world of almosts and what-could-have-beens, two souls find themselves bound by an unspoken promise to be there when no one else is. They are each other's safety nets, the ones left lingering in the shadows of second chances to more chances and always waiting, always hoping. But life is cruel to those who wait, and their love was never loud enough to be heard above the noise of their separate worlds; they've been losing the love they never dared to claim.

Even as they drifted apart, the thought of destiny playing its hand kept them going, as if the universe itself owed them another chance to rewrite their story for the last and right time.

In their final chance, will they finally be able to close their story, or will they remain trapped in the same cycle, repeating the same chapters over and over? Because for the last time, Almost will never be enough for them.
