The Year That Almost Was

What happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time-or worse, when you're too afraid to make them stay?

Marco never planned to fall for the exchange student who spilled coffee on his notes. Elise wasn't supposed to mean anything-she was only staying for a year. But between library study sessions and Christmas lights, 365 days became everything.

She offered him a future. A chance to follow her across the world. A choice between safety and love.

He chose safety.

Three years later, he finally finds the courage to go to Singapore. But some people don't wait forever. Some chances don't come twice.

A story about the love we let slip away, and the regret that follows us home.

"You could have chosen me. Just once, you could have chosen something you wanted instead of something safe."

🕰️ Sometimes the saddest words aren't "what if" but "too late."
