WE ALMOST STAYED

Rhea believes in control. In building a life that makes sense, where every decision is measured and nothing is left to chance. Kabir believes in moments. In taking risks, in choosing what feels right even when it doesn’t fit into a plan.

They meet once when they are too young to understand what they’ve found. A brief connection, intense and unfinished, that lingers long after they part.

They meet again years later, older and more aware of what they want—but still shaped by who they were. This time, the connection deepens. It becomes real, undeniable. But timing, fear, and the lives they have built pull them in different directions. What they feel is not enough to overcome what they cannot change.

And then they meet again.
