Three people he understood too late.
Arush carried a sentence for each of them — and delivered none of them in time.
a day
A father who pedalled that distance so his son would not have to walk — understood only after the bicycle was standing still.
every morning
A girl whose name was called just before his, every morning, for four years — and a boy too unsure to close the distance.
years
A friend who carried that much of his life — and died before Arush could say how much he had mattered.
MISSED is a novel about being loved, failing to love back in time, and learning — before it costs him anyone else — that the only moment love can be returned is now.
