Swara wasn’t going to college today. Her mother and younger brother were coming to visit and meet Daadi, so she had decided to stay home. When Ranvijay stepped out of the washroom and saw that she wasn’t dressed for college, an unexpected feeling washed over him almost a strange disappointment, as if the part of his day he cherished the most had been taken away. He wouldn’t get to spend that quiet time with her in the car, he wouldn’t get to watch her walk beside him… and that thought hit him harder than he expected.
Before Swara could say anything, he reached for her and pulled her straight into his arms. Everything happened so suddenly that Swara froze for a moment, her breath catching in her chest. Instinctively, she pressed her trembling hand against his chest. Feeling her nervousness, Ranvijay gently caught her hand and pressed a soft kiss against her palm.
