Almost, Always: A Hawkins Novel
They've loved each other since before they could name it.
Evelyn Ellison and Sierra Stone have been inseparable since the day they were born-best friends, chosen family, constants in a town that remembers everything. Hawkins has always seen what they couldn't: the way they orbit each other, the way every life decision quietly includes the other.
It takes one trivia night, one reckless joke, and one impossible-to-ignore moment for the truth to surface.
What follows isn't a dramatic awakening-it's a quiet reckoning. Coffee runs that feel different. Familiar routines charged with new meaning. Denial that unravels not in grand gestures, but in stolen glances and half-finished sentences.
As Hawkins gently applies pressure-through friends who notice, truths disguised as humor, and the town's uncanny habit of knowing before people are ready-Evelyn and Sierra must decide whether the love that has always been there is worth finally choosing out loud.
Almost, Always is a slow-burn, emotionally grounded sapphic romance about lifelong connection, missed timing, and the courage it takes to admit that the thing you've always had might be the thing you've been afraid to name.
Tender, observant, and deeply rooted in community, this is a story for anyone who believes love doesn't always arrive suddenly-but sometimes waits patiently until you're ready to see it.
