Publisher: Velvet Ink Press
Summary
Mali comes back to Thailand for Songkran, expecting nothing more than family meals, temple visits, and the easy laughter that only happens at home. What she doesn’t expect is Krit her childhood best friend grinning through a spray of water, looking both unchanged and marked by the years she’s missed. Between splashes, prayers, and late-night conversations, old feelings rise with the truth: distance never erased what mattered. But Mali’s uncertain path forward and Krit’s fear of losing her again keep them circling around words they’re not ready to say. When an old photo and a stack of unsent postcards surface, the past refuses to stay buried, forcing them to face what they’ve both left unsaid. Set against the renewal of Songkran, Water Between Us is a tender best-friends-to-lovers story about coming home, choosing honesty, and finding the courage to love with intention.
