Not entirely—just enough to send him leaning hard into her, stumbling sideways.
Their balance broke—together.
This time she didn’t catch him fully.
Instead, she let them fall—softly—into a seated position on the floor, tangled, breathless.
Her laugh was low and warm in his ear.
“I think you wanted to fall,” she said, resting her head briefly on his shoulder. “Didn’t you?”
He turned, her breath close to his lips now. “Maybe.”
Her gaze met his—playful, unreadable, deep.
Then she leaned closer, letting her cheek brush lightly against his lips.
Just enough.
Abhi froze.
The brush of her skin was soft and deliberate.
She didn’t pull away.
And instinctively, lips parted in surprise
he kissed her cheek.
(Rather she made him kiss her cheek)
Slowly.
Gently.
She smiled, still not moving.
Her breath grazed his jaw. “See?” she murmured. “You’re getting it.”
Then, slowly, she pushed herself back up to her feet.
She offered him her hand again, that same teacher's gesture—but this time, her fingers lingered longer in his.
“Again?” she asked, her eyes shining with mischief.
Abhi stood, steadied by her hand, but his thoughts were anything but steady.
