Wednesday Morning — Part Four: Breakfast of Anticipation
Ravi moved quickly but deliberately in the shower.
The water ran over him, warm and steady, but he barely noticed its soothing weight. Every drop echoed the single thought that had taken root in his mind: the day was theirs.
No interruptions.
No obligations.
No hesitation.
Only her.
Only him.
Only the space they had earned together yesterday, and now fully claimed today.
“We have the whole day,” he repeated under his breath, letting the words settle into him.
“Every moment. Every heartbeat. She’s mine today, and I’m hers.”
His movements were efficient, purposeful, but his mind lingered on her, the curve of her neck, the line of her shoulders, the subtle sway of her body as she had prepared breakfast earlier.
The thought tightened his chest, a pleasant ache of longing he had no desire to deny.
Showered and refreshed, he dressed quickly, anticipation lending speed to every motion.
When he stepped out of the bathroom, the house was already filled with the gentle aroma of spices, warmth, and something unmistakably her.
The kitchen greeted him with soft sunlight and quiet movement.
Priya was there, just as he had imagined.
She wore another saree today, one softer in color, flowing around her with effortless grace.
The light caught her skin, highlighting its natural warmth, the kind that seemed to glow from within.
Her hair was tied loosely, a few strands escaping to brush her neck.
Every movement, the way she reached for the utensils, the slight tilt of her head as she tasted the pan, was careful yet fluid, as though she were moving to music only she could hear.
Ravi stopped for a heartbeat, simply watching.
“I’ve never seen anything like her,” he thought.
“She doesn’t move through the world, she exists in it. She owns it.”
Even from across the kitchen, she radiated a quiet, living energy.
