Scene 41: The Light Between Their Hearts (Seventh Day: Morning)
The soft glow of the morning sun had crept higher, spilling golden warmth across the small hut, bathing the space in a light so gentle it almost felt like a dream.
Naveen's eyes fluttered open first, though he lingered in the stillness for a moment longer, letting the warmth of the morning, and the warmth beside him, sink in fully. Her presence was still so new, yet it felt like it belonged here, beside him.
She was nestled against him, her body pressed close to his, her head resting lightly on his hand. Her hand, small and soft, still lay against his chest, as if she hadn’t moved at all from the embrace they shared the night before.
For a while, neither of them spoke. They just breathed together in the quiet, their hearts beating slowly in unison. The memory of the kiss from the night before still lingered, like a tender echo in the air between them.
It wasn’t just a kiss, it had been something more, a declaration, a promise without words, and that sense of intimacy, of quiet understanding, hung between them now.
Kavya stirred, her movements slow and languid, a soft sigh escaping her lips as she shifted slightly.
Without fully waking, she pressed her lips gently against his shoulder, a soft, almost playful repetition of the affection they had shared, as if the kiss from last night was still a part of her, still warm and present.
Naveen felt the press of her lips against his skin, and a gentle smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. He couldn’t resist it.
Leaning his head a little closer, he whispered, “Morning… again.”
Her eyes fluttered open, soft and drowsy, as the remnants of sleep lingered in her gaze. She blinked once, then twice, before a quiet laugh bubbled up from her throat, light and musical. “Morning,” she replied, her voice low and husky with sleep, the sound of it like music to him.
“I… I don’t regret last night, you know.” There was a quiet honesty in her words that made his chest tighten.
He smiled, shaking his head gently, his thumb moving over her back in slow, soothing circles.
“Neither do I. That… that was the most natural thing I’ve felt in a long time.” The words were simple, but they carried all the weight of his emotions, of the comfort and closeness they had shared, and of the shift he had felt within himself.
