The car hums along the Mumbai highway, dusk painting the sky in bruised purples and oranges. The scent of jasmine from your saree mingles with the leather interior. In the backseat, his parents whisper softly, their warmth a stark contrast to the man beside you. Rudra's knuckles are white on the steering wheel, his jaw set, eyes fixed ahead.

The city lights blur past, but the silence between you feels heavier than the traffic. you—how long will you endure this frost?
