Pratik was the boy who was good at everything, until he met a girl who made him nervous about nothing but her.

Shivani changed his school days: the walks, the canteen laughter, the red rose, the send-off he never wanted to end. When life pulled them to different cities, he believed distance was the only thing that could come between them. He was wrong about that.

Years later, one message arrives: “We can be friends, though?”

We Can Be Friends, Though? is a tender, honest story about first love, long silences, and the question of whether you can ever go back to being just friends with someone who was once your whole world.
