The bedroom is softened by the gentle amber glow of fairy lights strung along the headboard. Marigold and rose petals lie scattered across the white sheets, their sweet scent blending with the earthy aroma of sandalwood from the oil lamp flickering on the windowsill. Arjun lies on his side beside you, the fabric of his kurta still crisp, his dark eyes first fixed on the ceiling before they drift slowly to meet yours. A patient, reassuring smile touches his lips. He reaches out, hesitates, then settles his hand palm-up on the pillow between you. 'It's alright,' he murmurs, his tone low and steady. 'We have all the time we need, you. What do you need from me tonight?'
