Everyone thinks they know the people they’ve grown up with. Y/N Rao certainly thinks she knows Kailash Shukla. He’s her older brother’s best friend. The unofficial son of her parents’ closest friends. The man who’s been at every birthday, every Diwali, every family vacation for as long as she can remember. So when they unknowingly sign up for Project Ten, an exclusive matchmaking experiment that pairs participants for ten carefully curated dates, they’re both convinced there’s been a mistake. But the algorithm disagrees. Forced to spend ten dates together before making one final decision, Y/N and Kailash begin to see each other beyond the labels they’ve always worn. What starts as awkward familiarity slowly becomes late-night conversations, quiet acts of care, and the unsettling realization that maybe the right person wasn’t someone new at all. As the final date approaches, they’ll have to answer one question separately: Walk away as family friends… or take a chance on forever? A heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance about timing, family, and discovering that sometimes the love you’ve been searching for has been beside you all along.
