When we were almost – Nico Featherwick
A tender second-chance romance about love, silence, and what it means to try again.
When Clara and Elliot cross paths a year after a quiet heartbreak, they must face what was left unsaid—and decide if almost was just the beginning.
What if “the one that got away” came back—just when you finally learned how to let go?
Clara and Elliot shared six unforgettable months. No labels. No promises. Just city streets, quiet mornings, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need explaining—until Elliot left without a word. Nearly a year later, their paths collide again. The silence between them has stretched into something heavy, but the feelings? Still there, still complicated, still unfinished.
Told in alternating voices, When We Were Almost is a quiet, emotionally rich novel about heartbreak, healing, and the fragile hope of second chances. For anyone who’s ever wondered “what if,” this story proves that almost doesn’t have to be the end—it can be the beginning of something more.
