Then, without really thinking, he moved closer to her, his voice barely above a whisper. “We’ll stay close to the fire. It’s all we can do. It should keep us warm enough.”
 
Kavya didn’t respond immediately. She simply nodded, though her eyes stayed fixed on the flames, her expression soft. She felt a warmth in his words, even if they didn’t mean anything more than what they were. But in the silence that followed, the warmth of the fire wasn’t enough to dispel the lingering tension.
 
Naveen watched her for a moment longer before lowering his gaze to the fire. His pulse quickened, the air between them thick with something they were both trying to avoid, or perhaps just waiting for the right moment to acknowledge.
 
And then, without a word, they both reached for the shawl. They adjusted it carefully, making sure it was secure enough to give them both some shared warmth, but also to keep them close enough that the warmth from the fire would reach both of them.
 
Kavya tugged at the edge of the shawl, pulling it a little tighter around her shoulders, settling herself more comfortably on the floor. She could feel her heart beating faster, but she kept her breathing even, trying not to let her thoughts betray her.
 
Naveen, on the other hand, was acutely aware of her every movement. The slight rustle of her clothes, the soft press of her body against him, the way the firelight flickered across her face in shadowed flashes, it was all too much to ignore. “How long can we keep this up?” he wondered. “How long until one of us breaks and make a move?”
 
They didn’t speak for a long while after that. The fire’s warmth was a quiet presence, its crackling sound the only thing between them, along with the subtle barrier they had created. Neither of them made any moves beyond the unspoken agreement they had formed, an understanding, however fragile, that they weren’t ready for whatever came next. Not yet.
 
Kavya’s thoughts were a jumble of conflicting emotions. “I have been so strong. But why he is being stronger? He is a man, usually men are attracted more towards woman. Why is he not making any move?”
 
Sitting next to her, Naveen fought his own internal conflict. “I can’t cross the line. I can’t let this become something else. What if she is not thinking like this.  She is the only person for me to survive here.  I cannot lose her”
 
And so, as the fire flickered and the night deepened, they sat in the shared warmth of the hut, inside of the shawl, each locked in their own quiet, private battle. But the silence between them, though filled with unspoken words, also carried something else, a connection, however subtle, that neither of them was ready to break.
