"We were never just friends. We were a story the world wasn't ready for."
Two women. Two worlds. One connection that changes everything.
She studies the patterns of life - a biologist searching for meaning in molecules.
The other studies the patterns of power - a political thinker tracing the pulse of society.
Both M.Phil. students. Both brilliant.
Both unprepared for the day their worlds quietly collided on campus.
What begins as friendship becomes something fragile - and far more dangerous - a love that blooms in whispers, glances, and the spaces no one else sees.
Between shared coffees, late-night study sessions, and long walks under skies the colour of confession, they build a world that feels like home - even as it trembles on borrowed time.
Some loves arrive too soon.
Some goodbyes come long before the words are ever spoken.
The Goodbye We Never Said is a slow-burn sapphic university romance - tender, defiant, and unforgettable - about a connection that refuses to fade, no matter how far apart the hearts that remember.

Eliana Snow is a sweet, innocent young woman who's about to inherit the family fortune at age 21.
Right now her parents' company, bank accounts, and estates are managed by the court-appointed trustee - Harvey Snow, an uncle who sincerely hates her. The feeling is mutual. Harvey is capable of anything. Even murder.
The plot starts exactly six months before Eliana's 21st birthday. It's the moment when harassment becomes too much to handle.
Eliana out of sheer desperation asks the mafia boss Rafael Vincenti for protection and to her surprise she receives a marriage proposal from him. At first, their relationship begins as a passionless business deal but it slowly grows into something more.
