Almost Midnight

The blend of vampires and romance felt seamless, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did the supernatural aspects influence the characters' relationships?

I loved the moments where characters explored their identities, but at times the story felt a bit slow. Was that intentional to build emotional depth?

The title and the timing create such a mystical atmosphere. I'm curious whether this was based on a myth, a personal idea, or something else altogether.
