She didn’t glance at Naveen; her mind was too busy trying to maintain some semblance of composure. “Don’t let him see too much. Don’t let him know what I’m thinking.” She forced herself to breathe steadily as she pulled the dry fabric over her legs.
 
Naveen, on his side, felt the change in the air as she moved. His chest tightened for a brief second, but he kept his focus on his own clothes. He had already dressed, but his hands lingered on the fabric, almost as if he were stalling.
 
The space between them felt heavy, like something was about to shift, but he couldn’t tell if it was something they both wanted or something neither of them could risk.
 
“What is she thinking?” he wondered. “Does she feel it too? This… this pull? She is half of my age, so young…, so beautiful… Yet so close…”
 
He sighed quietly, allowing himself a moment of relief as he adjusted his clothes. He was finally dressed, though he could still feel the coolness of the night air pressing against his skin. The fire crackled louder, but the silence was still thick, heavy.
 
Kavya, now back near the fire, sat down carefully, folding her legs under her. They removed the shawl curtain. Her eyes remained on the flames, now she could see Naveen sitting right next to her, close enough that she could hear his breath.
The warmth from the fire was comforting, but it didn’t ease the tension that still lingered between them.
 
She was aware of the space between them in a way she couldn’t explain, like a thin thread pulling her closer to him, but the fear of crossing that invisible line kept her from moving.
 
“How do we do this?” she thought, eyes flicking briefly to the space where she knew he was. “How do we continue this without breaking the silence, is he also feeling what I am feeling?”
 
After a few moments of uncomfortable stillness, Naveen finally broke the quiet, his voice low, almost tentative. “Are you cold?” he asked, though he already knew the answer. The chill of the evening was settling in, and despite the fire, it lingered in the hut.
 
Kavya was silent for a moment. Then, she replied softly, “A little. But I’m fine.”
 
There was something in her voice, a subtle hesitation, that made Naveen pause. He had heard it, the slight tremor, the underlying unease that she was trying so hard to mask. He was quiet for a long moment, unsure of how to respond.
