Synopsis
Lucía has always lived by careful plans, while Mateo drifts through life guided by instinct. Somehow, they keep crossing paths in the same café—always just missing each other by minutes or by days, as if time itself refuses to cooperate.
When a twist of fate finally brings them face to face, their connection feels both immediate and strangely familiar. As they begin to unravel the mystery of their near-meetings, they must confront the choices that kept them apart—and decide whether love is something you find, or something that finds you when you're finally ready.
