The marriage had been forced on him by a promise his grandparents made long ago, a promise he regretted every second of every day. He didn't care about her dreams or feelings. To him, she was nothing more than an obligation he resented. Looking at her filled him with disgust and shame. He couldn't bear the thought of calling her his wife or showing her to his friends.

Almost Us tells the story of Arianna, when everything could still happen, when everything felt possible and nothing really was. In 2016, the city felt too small, the nights too short or too nosy, and nothing in between. Between skipping school and the smoke of badly rolled joints, growing up feels urgent. There are beach sunsets, captured in poorly grainy taken Polaroids that somehow look golden. On the coast, cigarettes pass between friends, and the first joints are smoked like rites of passage. School becomes just another place to find weed. The future feels distant. Happiness feels easy - or at least loud. But something is already slipping. Almost Us is a story of youth as illusion: the friendships that almost lasted, the freedom that almost meant something, and the version of ourselves we almost became and never accepted.
