Was There A Lifetime (Yearning Series #1)

They grew up together and became each other's safe place. Everyone thought they were just friends. Maybe they did too... or maybe they were just too afraid to admit otherwise.

She was sweet yet effortless, unreadable, the kind of girl who never chased and never stayed long enough to be caught. He was the opposite, warm, persistent, always orbiting around her like she was the center of his world. Somewhere between teasing arguments and silent understandings, feelings began to bloom... the kind that neither of them dared to name.

Because what if saying it ruined everything?

So they stayed where it was safe....hiding behind friendship, burying confessions in jokes, and letting moments slip past them like they had all the time in the world.

Until....

Distance. New people. Missed chances.

And suddenly, the person who once felt like home became someone they could only remember.

Now, years later, they are left with echoes of a love that was never spoken... and a question that refuses to fade:

If they had been braver......would they have been each other's lifetime?
