Teron has been incredibly patient with me lately. Between my mood swings, endless need for reassurance, and constant questions, I wasn't exactly easy to deal with. Yet with everything he had going on, he still somehow found time for me.

Thinking about everything he'd done for me, I felt a wave of gratitude. I wanted to do something to show him how much I appreciated him.

But what?

That's when an idea struck me while I was watching a romantic movie with Sakshi. It reminded me of that conversation we'd had after returning from the supermarket—the one that had left me curious and slightly embarrassed. At the time, I hadn't thought much of it. But now, I found myself wondering if it was finally time to do it.

I shared the idea with Sakshi, who immediately understood what was going through my mind.

"I think It's my turn now!"

She smiled and said, "Bon courage, ma chérie."

Then I take a deep breath.

"Mansi," I tell myself, "you can do this."

Gathering every bit of courage I have, I walk toward him.

He looks at me, raises his eyebrows, and asks, "Tell me."
