Almost Was Us

-This story is a work of fiction.

Gawin was supposed to meet the boy he loved for their first real date.
Instead, he ended up in a hospital room - staring at Joss lying unconscious, kept alive by machines and fading prayers. For nights he stayed by his bedside, whispering memories into the quiet, begging for a miracle that never came.
Until Joss was taken away.
No goodbye.
No update.
No trace.
For eight years, Gawin waited. Wrote. Broke. Loved someone who never answered.
Then one book signing, fate brings Joss back - alive, older, smiling... and remembering none of the boy who never stopped loving him. To Joss, Gawin is just a stranger with a pen. And beside him stands his fiancée.
Now Gawin must face the truth:
Some people return as strangers.
Some love stories never get finished.
And some memories are lost forever.
A heartbreaking tale of devotion, disappearance, and the one love that didn't survive the silence.
