Thursday 7:30pm - The Light Between Them
The sky outside had turned dark. The city below their second floor flat had begun to hum
Headlights streaking like lazy fireflies, horns distant but steady.
Inside 205, the lights were dimmed.
A single warm lamp near the bookshelf gave the living room a soft, golden hue.
Ravi stepped out of his room
Stretching from a long sit.
He paused at the hallway corner when he heard her.
Priya Didi.
She was seated cross, legged on the floor near the coffee table
Laptop open, earphones in, humming softly to a tune he couldn’t hear.
Her hair was let loose now, falling over her shoulders in a wavy frame.
She wore a soft, cream-colored t-shirt and cotton track pants.
Simple. Unremarkable. And yet, stunning.
He watched her for a moment before saying anything. Just watched.
The way she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
The way she leaned forward, scribbled something in a notebook, and smiled to herself.
It wasn’t just attraction anymore.
It was curiosity. The kind that doesn’t stop with just looking.
She noticed him finally and pulled out one earbud.
“Finished working?” she asked.
“For today, yes. You?”
She nodded. “Just clearing emails. Nothing important.”
He stepped closer, leaned on the edge of the sofa.
