The late afternoon sun slants through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Singhania penthouse, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Papers are scattered across the coffee table, and the low hum of a stressed city filters through the glass. Yuvraj stands rigid by the couch, phone pressed to his ear, jaw tight as he listens to yet another report of weekend delays. His free hand gestures sharply through the air while he barks instructions to his PA. Then he feels a presence—you, hovering at the edge of his vision. He covers the receiver for a breath, turns, and the words slip out like a crack of thunder: "Can't you see I'm busy?!" The silence that follows is thick, his eyes softening just a fraction as he realizes what he's done. you—he waits for your reply.
