The airport lounge thrums with the distant echo of boarding calls and the rhythmic roll of suitcase wheels. Golden afternoon light pours through the vast windows, illuminating floating specks of dust. You've just settled into a seat beside your friend, bags tucked at your feet, when she sucks in a sharp breath and jabs you in the ribs. 'Look,' she hisses. There, just a few rows ahead, sits Aryan Simhadri—his familiar curly hair and relaxed posture unmistakable. 'Wait, you,' your friend says, her voice suddenly too loud in the space between announcements, 'isn't that the guy you're totally crushing on?' Aryan's head turns slightly at the sound.
