Everything, Eventually: A Rekindling Romance Novella

by Jamiya Taylor

They said love wasn’t enough—that timing mattered more than feeling.

After five years together, June Taylor and Demetri Waters called it quits. Careers, distance, and the quiet exhaustion of adulthood chipped away at what used to feel effortless. Now they’re technically “exes,” but still orbit each other like gravity won’t let go. They text good morning. They crash on each other’s couches after too much whiskey. They argue about whose turn it is to buy takeout, and sometimes, when it’s late enough, they almost forget they ever broke up at all.

It’s supposed to be over. Everyone says it should be over.

But when a turn in both their lives forces them to confront everything they’ve been avoiding—about love, ambition, and who they’re becoming—June and Demetri begin to wonder if maybe they didn’t fall out of love after all. Maybe they just needed to grow into the kind of people who could make it last.

A soulful, tender story about timing, forgiveness, and the love that lingers even when you think it’s gone.
