Some love doesn’t arrive with fireworks. It arrives in shared routines, quiet understanding, and the comfort of being seen.

Andy steps into university life carrying ambition, memory, and a careful fear of being left behind. Sophie is learning how to take up space, how to trust her voice, and how to stand steady in who she is becoming. They cross paths in the ordinary rhythms of campus, between lectures, late nights, and quiet walks that start to feel like a refuge.

What grows between them is a slow-burn romance, tender and unannounced. It lives in shared lives, unfinished conversations, and unspoken feelings that deepen into emotional intimacy. It is quiet love, the kind that doesn’t rush, the kind that doesn’t demand to be named to be real.

But coming of age changes people. New doors open. Distance stretches what feels safe. And the past has a way of complicating closeness, even when it’s wanted.

I Never Meant To Love You is a coming-of-age story about the moments that shape us long before we realise their weight, and the bittersweet connection that can linger long after the season that formed it.
