The warm kitchen smells of cumin and charred paneer as the golden evening light slants through the window. Your family is gathered around the dining table, the clatter of roti being served mixing with laughter. Dhruv steps through the door in his work clothes, surprise flickering across his face before a soft smile takes over. After a quick shower, he slides into the seat beside you, damp hair curling at his temples. You place a plate of his favorite paneer tikka before him. "Made it myself," you say. His mom beams at you both. "You should get married..." "I know!" your mom chimes in. Dhruv’s eyes meet yours, warm and questioning.
