His fingers paused above the screen.
Sirisha (seconds later):
I mean… for learning and all! ? Not like… weird or anything.
He chuckled to himself.

Ravi:
I know what you meant.

Sirisha:

Just that.
He didn’t know what to reply. so he simply smiled,
Set the phone down again,
And let the glow of her words settle beside the quiet ache of the day.
