Aayansh's POV~

Her eyes, dark and endlessly curious, watched me. They always did.

I sighed and finally made the call, my fingers dragging a bit over the screen. The elevator felt even smaller now, not because of the space, but because of everything that had just happened between us.

Part of me wished we could stay in that moment, suspended in time, but Kriti had nudged me, bringing me back to reality, even when all I wanted was to stay lost in her.

I didn’t want to stop.
But she pushed me gently, her eyes urging me to do the responsible thing. Reluctantly, I dialed the number, feeling like I was snapping the thread that held us in that intimate bubble.
