Some love stories begin with desire. This one begins with silence. Finley and Skye meet by chance, by ease, by a shared understanding that needs no explanation. What begins as friendship slowly deepens into something unnamed, carried quietly across years. They do not rush. They do not confess. They wait—without realizing what waiting costs. As time reshapes them through ambition, marriage, loss, and distance, their bond grows heavier, more precise, and impossible to ignore. When love is finally named, it arrives not as longing, but as recognition. And then time intervenes.
If Time Had Waited is a tender, reflective novel about emotional intimacy, restraint, and the kind of love that survives even when presence does not—altering forever how we remember ourselves.
This book does not ask whether love should have happened differently.
It asks what happens after love has happened— even briefly, even late, even once.
Because some loves are not meant to be lived loudly. They are meant to be carried.
If you have ever loved quietly, waited too long, or found yourself changed by someone who did not stay—this story is for you.

Dr Foram Patel
Dr. Foram Patel writes from the intersection of observation and emotion. She holds a Ph.D. in English and has earned multiple academic certifications. An accomplished scholar and creative writer, she has published more than fifty research articles and authored ten books across academic and literary domains.
Based in Gujarat, India, she is an administrator, educator, author, artist, and translator whose work is shaped by years spent listening—to classrooms, to conversations, and to the quiet spaces people rarely name. With over a decade of experience in higher education and academic leadership, she has learned that what remains unspoken often carries the deepest meaning.
Her writing explores emotional continuity: how relationships evolve over time, how memory sustains us, and how love can exist beyond definition, possession, or outcome. Multilingual by practice and reflective by instinct, she moves effortlessly between disciplines and languages, allowing her stories to remain grounded, intimate, and deeply human.
She is the author of several books and numerous scholarly publications. Since her best-selling debut novel Minstrelsy, she has continued to write under the same literary identity, with her works available through major online book retailers.
If Time Had Waited is not a departure from her academic life—it is its quiet echo. A story shaped by patience, restraint, and the belief that some truths arrive only when we are ready to feel them.
