“She looks peaceful… like she’s finally found some peace. I never thought I’d feel this way about someone. She’s so strong, so resilient… but there’s softness in her too. Something… gentle.” He felt a quiet ache rise in his chest, but he didn’t move. He couldn’t. Not yet.
 
Kavya, still lost in the fire’s dance, spoke again. “It’s strange,” she said, her voice a little distant, as if she were talking to herself. “Just a few days ago, I couldn’t imagine sleeping without my bed, my blanket… a roof that didn’t leak. And now…” She glanced around the hut, a small smile curving her lips as she took in the humble space. “This small hut feels like a palace.”
 
Naveen chuckled softly, the sound warm in the quiet of the room. “That’s what survival does. It makes you grateful for the smallest things.”
 
She nodded, her smile gentle, a trace of something deeper in her expression. “Maybe that’s something I’ll never forget.”
 
Silence settled again, but this time it was peaceful. The flames crackled softly, and the faint warmth flushed their faces, giving the small hut a sense of comfort that neither had felt in a long time. 

The sound of the sea blended with the rhythm of their breathing, each breath like a quiet promise to keep going, to keep surviving.
 
Naveen stirred the fire with a stick, watching the sparks drift upward. “You should sleep soon,” he said gently, his voice a little softer than usual. “We have a long day ahead tomorrow.”
 
Kavya nodded, but didn’t move, her eyes still on the fire. “I will… in a bit. It’s just… nice to sit here. To feel warm again.” “To feel safe… with him. Also there some attraction towards him that I can't name yet.” The thought fluttered briefly through her mind, and she caught herself, forcing the feeling to the back of her mind. “I can’t think about that right now. Not yet. Not when everything is so uncertain.”
 
He smiled, his voice low and reassuring. “I agree.”
 
For a few more minutes, they simply sat side by side, close, but not touching, both lost in thought. The crackling fire was the only sound, the warmth of it making the silence between them feel almost intimate, though neither acknowledged it directly. 

There was an understanding between them now, an unspoken comfort that didn’t need to be expressed.
