Stillness, Broken Gently – A Bold Step
Abhi didn’t speak.
But something shifted in him the moment she said it
Not with force
Not with hunger
But with an unmistakable clarity.
No holding back.
His arms tightened ever so slightly around her waist
Fingers splaying across her midsection as if trying to memorize the shape of her breath.
Meghana felt it.
She didn’t move away.
Instead, she sank a little further into his hold
Her back pressing fully against his chest now.
Her head turned slightly
And her cheek brushed the side of his jaw.
That was all the invitation he needed.
Abhi lowered his chin slowly
Letting the bridge of his nose trail down along her hairline
Past her temple.
He could feel her breath catch there.
