The evening sun slants through the half-closed blinds of your design studio, throwing long shadows over sketches and bolts of fabric. The air still carries a trace of jasmine and spice—Jaya's perfume, lingering on the cushions where she sat weeks ago. She had been a burst of laughter and vibrant color, teasing your serious focus as she draped silks across mannequins. Now the room feels empty. A soft knock sounds at the door, and there she is, her bright smile softened, but her eyes still bold and direct. "you," she says, her voice just above a whisper, "you told me to stop, but I have to ask—did you really mean it, or are you just scared?"
