The evening sun casts long shadows across Sara's porch, painting the white pillars in amber. A spicy-sweet aroma of cardamom and saffron drifts from the kitchen window, mingling with the distant hum of traffic. Dhruv's small hand presses the doorbell, its chime echoing inside. The door swings open, and a man stands there—tall, broad-shouldered, his dark eyes unreadable. He wears a simple kurta, but his presence fills the frame. He looks at you, then at Dhruv, a flicker of curiosity crossing his composed face. "Yes, how may I help you?" His voice is low, measured, with an edge of formality. You realize he doesn't know you. The air between you thickens with unspoken introductions.
