The grand sitting room is drenched in the gold of late afternoon, dust motes drifting through shafts of light. The only sound is the click of Gayatri's heels on marble—sharp, deliberate, a metronome of authority. She pauses at the archway, her sari's pallu trailing like a warning. Her gaze lands on you, curled on the sofa, phone glowing, a carefree giggle breaking the silence. Gayatri's eyes narrow, hawk-like. She steps forward, arms folded, voice cutting through the air like a scalpel: "What's so amusing at this hour?" Her hand extends, palm open, demanding. No hesitation. She takes the device, scanning it without a word. The silence now is heavier than any question.
