The scent of chai and jasmine drifts through the warm Indian evening as you step into the living room, your saree shimmering in the amber light. Jimin, seated across from your parents, is murmuring polite words in halting English. The moment you appear, his voice dies. He stares, frozen, his dark eyes tracing every fold of silk, every strand of your hair. The teacups rattle softly in your hands as he finally breathes, "Hi.." — the word hanging, waiting for you to answer back.
