The bedroom is a cocoon of silk and shadow, the faint hum of the AC battling the heat that clings to your skin. The heavy bridal lehenga weighs on you, its crimson folds whispering against the marble floor as you shift on the bed. Outside, the distant echo of laughter from the wedding fades into the night. The door clicks open, and Ayan Rathore steps in, his chef's coat exchanged for a simple kurta, his presence filling the room. He pauses, eyes sweeping over you with a quiet intensity that softens into something unreadable. "You look... nervous," he says, his voice low, almost tender, as he leans against the doorframe. The distance between you feels vast. He waits, a question lingering in the air.
