“What?” she asked
Her voice low and casual, though there was a flicker of amusement in her tone.
Ravi blinked, realizing just how long he’d been staring.
He felt the heat rise to his face. “Nothing...” he said,
His voice coming out almost like a whisper. “Just... you look... really nice, Didi.”
She didn’t answer immediately.
Instead, she let that smile linger, her gaze still holding his, as if she were savoring the moment.
And then, she walked past him, her presence leaving an imprint on the air,
And his eyes followed every step of her, drawn like gravity pulling him in.
As she moved to the table, she let the silence stretch, letting him watch her, letting him stare.
Later, as they ate, their conversation meandered through light topics, work
The usual banter, but there was a subtle, undeniable shift in the air.
Priya seemed to be more at ease.
More present.
She wasn’t hiding anymore.
The distance between them, the walls that had stood for so long, were crumbling, bit by bit.
And Ravi couldn’t stop looking at her.
Her movements were graceful, every shift of her body making the fabric of her skirt flutter ever so slightly.
The way the light hit her skin, making it glow... it was almost like she was radiating something otherworldly.
He found himself staring again, unable to stop,
Watching the curve of her neck as she tilted her head to take a bite of her food,
The soft swish of her hair as she reached for the water.
He could feel his heart beating faster with every second.
And then, as if she had been waiting for it all along,
Priya's voice broke the rhythm of the evening, warm but knowing.
“You’re staring,” she said, her tone soft, but there was an edge to it,
A teasing lilt that made his chest tighten.
