When The Distance Grew Between Us.
Charlotte Thompson wasn’t looking for friendship when a random message from a stranger appeared on her screen.
Lucy Evans wasn’t looking for one either.
Separated by thousands of kilometers, the two girls slowly become a part of each other’s everyday lives. What begins as casual conversations turns into late-night calls, shared secrets, inside jokes, and a connection neither of them expected.
For nearly two years, they know everything about each other—except what it’s like to stand in the same room.
As graduation approaches and university decisions reshape their futures, the distance between Halifax and Winnipeg begins to shrink. For Lucy, moving away means leaving behind the little brother she’s spent years protecting. For Charlotte, meeting Lucy means confronting feelings she’s tried not to name.
But real life is far more complicated than phone calls and text messages.
Between family struggles, old wounds, first loves, misunderstandings, and the growing realization that friendship may no longer be enough, Charlotte and Lucy find themselves standing at the edge of something neither of them planned for.
The question is no longer whether they can survive the distance.
It’s what happens when the distance finally disappears.
A slow-burn sapphic romance about healing, found family, growing up, and finding home in the one person who was once just a stranger on a screen.
