Abhi didn’t speak.
His breath came late.
His gaze traced her
From the way the silk folded at her hip
To how the light held the hollow of her throat
To her bare feet resting quiet on the cool marble.
She hadn’t dressed to dazzle.
She had dressed to invite.
“You look…” he tried, but the words faltered beneath the weight of wonder.
She smiled — not coy, but knowing. Quiet. Certain. “Come in,” she said.
He stepped inside.
The living room was no longer a room.
It was a world.
Shadows swayed to the rhythm of dozens of candles
Tiny flames nestled in brass holders, casting golden halos that danced across the walls, the floor, her skin.
The curtains drawn halfway let in ribbons of moonlight, weaving silver into the amber glow.
