“Why do you look like you just stepped into a temple?” she teased, 

Nudging his arm.


“This does feel like… sacred ground,” he said, half joking.

Her eyes sparkled.

“Aww, so respectful! But Bhayya, you’re safe. There’s no alarm that’ll go off if you breathe.”

He smiled, glancing around. “You didn’t warn me you were this… girly.”

“Excuse me!” she mock gasped. “I’m classy. Not just girly.”

She leaned forward a bit and grabbed her diary.

“Look. These are my initial ideas for the intro slide. Don’t judge the handwriting.”

He took the pages from her. Her fingers grazed his just a second longer than necessary.

“Not bad,” he murmured. “Clean. Organized.”

“You sound surprised,” she narrowed her eyes.

“I just didn’t think you would be so… meticulous.”

“I’m full of surprises,” she said quietly, holding his gaze. “You haven’t even seen half of me.”

Ravi blinked.

Sirisha grinned. “I meant my talents, Bhayya! Stop imagining things.”

He chuckled, and she watched the way his lips moved, as if quietly storing away the memory.

“You’re really different here,” he said. “In this room. Like… a bit calmer.”

She looked away, brushing her fingers across her blanket in small circles. “This is my space. I’m always my softest here.”

The silence that followed wasn’t awkward, it was layered.

Thick with a kind of young tension, 

Tender curiosity, 

And something quietly growing between them.
