"have you packed?" I bit my lower lip, gliding my eyes through the suitcase to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything.
then I checked my handbag hurriedly. "nahi, um, can you pass me the lotion?" I asked, turning around to face him.
I was sitting on the floor, still packing my things, while he had already finished and was now sitting on the couch.
the past two days had flown by so quickly—almost in a blur—that I hadn't had proper time to pack, but now, finally, I had a bit of time.
and we were leaving today.
Veer nodded and handed me the lotion. "Here." I took the small bottle and tucked it into my bag.
It was almost the start of winter, and I didn't want to risk my skin drying out until it started to shed. Zipping the bag closed, I mumbled, "thanks."
flashing a victorious smile, I stood up and grabbed my yellow saree from the bed. I was still in my nightdress, and I definitely needed a bath before we left. I had just woken up, so I hadn't had the chance to shower earlier.
after stepping into the bathroom, I untangled my ruffled hair from the bun. Opening the shower door, I turned on the faucet, shedding my clothes as I went.
setting the temperature to a mild warmth, I took my time in the shower, indulging in the soothing water for a good twenty minutes to pamper my skin.
once I was done, I wore the blouse and petticoat and walked out of the bathroom, towel-drying my wet hair.
I dropped the towel onto the dresser and pushed my hair behind my ears while looking at myself in the mirror, smoothing it out.
my eyes unknowingly flicked to Veer, who was sitting on the couch in a formal white shirt and pants.
shaking my head, I turned away and began draping the saree. Since returning home, I had started wearing sarees on my own, and it didn't really bother either of us anymore.
after pinning the last pleat in place, I moved on to my makeup. I kept it simple, applying kajal, a bindi, burgundy lipstick, and finishing with some vermilion.
grabbing my mangalsutra, I placed it around my neck and followed it with bangles on my wrists.
I wiggled my wrist to create a soft jingling sound from the bangles, just the way I liked it. Suddenly, I felt a warm presence behind me. My eyes lifted, meeting Veer's gaze through the mirror.
he leaned in, reaching for his perfume—the Velvet Noire one. It had notes of vanilla and black musk, a scent that suited him perfectly.
He spritzed some on either side of his neck, then dabbed some on his wrists.
