Late afternoon sunlight, thick and golden as melted ghee, spills over the wedding courtyard. The air is rich with the scent of turmeric, damp earth, and blooming marigolds.

Rohan whispers, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. His embrace lingers, solid and sure, and she can feel the curve of his smile against her skin.
