Some stories begin with love.This one begins with a promise. Where We Promised to Meet is not simply a story about two people. It is about the distance between them — the emotional, physical, and unspoken distance that quietly reshapes lives. We have all stood somewhere — an airport, a café, a city corner — carrying a conversation that never fully happened. We have all wondered what might have changed if we had arrived earlier, spoken sooner, or stayed longer.This novel lives inside that question.

It explores:The quiet ache of missed timing

Ambition versus attachment

The way memory protects us — and sometimes lies to us

How people grow apart without meaning to

The characters in this book are not dramatic heroes. They are ordinary, flawed, and deeply human. They make choices that feel right in the moment. They delay what should not be delayed. They hold pride when they should hold hands.

And like many of us, they believe there will always be more time. While writing this book, I was less interested in grand gestures and more interested in silence — in the pauses between sentences, in the hesitation before a confession, in the emotional architecture that builds slowly and then shifts without warning. This is a story for readers who appreciate restraint. For those who understand that sometimes the loudest emotions are the ones never spoken.

If you have ever:

Replayed a memory late at night

Missed someone long after you told yourself you were over them

Or carried a promise that still feels unfinished

You may find yourself inside these pages.

The book is currently in its final stages of preparation. Release details will be shared soon.

Some meetings happen on time.

Others stay with us forever because they didn’t.

Stay tuned.— Davinder Ranu
