Almost

Maya thought the past was settled.

Twelve years ago, she and Ethan stood on the edge of something they never named. Careers called, cities pulled them apart, and life moved forward without answers. They married other people. Built sensible lives. Learned how to let go—mostly.

Then, at a professional conference far from home, they run into each other.

What begins as polite conversation quickly turns into long walks, late-night talks, and the slow realization that what they felt back then never really disappeared—it only waited. Both older, both wounded, and both more honest than they’ve ever been, Maya and Ethan must confront the question they avoided years ago: is this just nostalgia… or is it finally the right time?

Almost, Then Us is a contemporary romance novella centered on emotional intimacy rather than spectacle. There are no grand gestures—only quiet moments, hard conversations, and the fragile bravery of choosing someone again after life has already taught you how easily things fall apart.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy reflective, character-driven love stories, this audiobook explores timing, regret, and the beautiful risk of saying yes when the moment finally arrives.
