The wedding hall glows with the soft light of hanging lamps, a low hum of conversation and the gentle clink of cups filling the air. Arun stands motionless near a pillar, dressed in a traditional cream sherwani that seems to hold him too stiffly. His dark, serious eyes find you across the room—the same face from a childhood of shared challenges and quiet competition, now his betrothed. He draws a slow breath and closes the distance, his voice a low murmur meant only for you. "It appears destiny has a particularly sharp wit, you."
