Until We Meet Again
About
In 2001, Jamie Parker meets Kouta Nomura, a Japanese man with pink hair, a sharp wit, and the kind of confidence Jamie has never quite managed to find in himself. What begins as an unexpected connection in San Francisco becomes the defining love story of Jamie’s life.
But when Jamie travels to Tokyo with Kouta, their future begins to unravel. Rejected by Kouta’s family and confronted with circumstances neither of them can control, the two young men face a separation that ends in a devastating incident at a train station in 2002. Jamie is left believing Kouta is dead.
Unable to accept a loss without answers, Jamie spends the next two decades searching for the truth. As the years pass, his life moves forward in every way except the one that matters most: a part of him remains trapped in the moment he lost Kouta. Dreams of the life they might have shared offer brief comfort, but the questions never disappear.
Then a revelation shatters everything Jamie thought he knew.
Kouta survived.
Finding him means confronting a reality far more complicated than the answer Jamie spent decades seeking. As Jamie faces the consequences of their separation, he must learn what love means when the person you remember and the person before you are no longer quite the same-and whether hope can survive even when the future looks nothing like the one you imagined.
Until We Meet Again is a bittersweet LGBTQ+ romantic drama about first love, devastating loss, the persistence of memory, and the courage to live when the past refuses to let go. Because sometimes the hardest goodbye isn’t losing someone. It’s learning how to live without the life you thought you would share.
