Her eyes met his.
And then, slowly, softly
She reached for his hand again.
This time with both of hers.
Her touch wasn’t playful now.
It was grounding.
As though she was pulling him fully into this moment, this space.
“I wasn’t sure,” she said, her voice just above a whisper. “If it would feel right, tonight.”
“And now?” he asked gently.
She paused.
Her eyes flickered to his lips
Then back to his eyes. “Now it feels like the most right I’ve ever felt.”
He nodded, his thumb gently brushing over the back of her hand.
“Meghana…” he began, his voice thick.
She didn’t let him finish.
She leaned in slowly, not to kiss him right away, but to rest her head softly against his shoulder again.
This time, his arm moved around her instinctively
Drawing her closer.
The warmth of her pressed against his side,
The scent of jasmine from her hair rising again
Mingling with the faint spice of the dinner still lingering in the air.
