In The Heart Of A New World

Prologue

_____________________________________Scence 1

As the plane descended into San Francisco, Meera turned to Aarav. “Can you believe we’re finally here?”

He smiled, squeezing her hand. “Ready for this adventure?”

“Only if you promise not to burn the kitchen,” she teased, recalling their clumsy cooking attempts.

“Hey, I’ll master it!” he replied, laughter in his eyes.

Later, in their cozy apartment, Meera sighed. “It feels like home already.”

Aarav leaned closer, a playful glint in his eye. “Just wait until you taste my mom’s curry.”

In that moment, with laughter and dreams swirling around them, Meera felt the spark of something beautiful begin to grow.

The weekend sun streamed through the window as Aarav entered the apartment, holding two steaming coffee cups. "Guess what? We're going to the farmer's market today!"

Meera looked up, surprised and excited. "Really? I've heard so much about it!"

He grinned, leaning in closer, their bodies nearly touching. "We'll explore together. Just you and me."

At the market, the vibrant stalls buzzed with life. Meera's eyes lit up at the sight of fresh strawberries. "Look at those! They're perfect!"

Aarav picked up a strawberry, holding it between them. "Want to feed me?"

She giggled, taking the fruit. "Only if you promise to cook with them later."

"Only if you feed me more than just strawberries," he whispered, his voice low, as he leaned closer. She felt her heart race as she brought th their fingers brus spark between them.

He took a bite, their eyes locked, the world around them fading. "Mmm, sweet. Just like you," he murmured, wiping the juice from his lips with his thumb, then brushing it against her own.

Meera felt a rush of heat as she licked her lips, wanting more than just the fruit between them. "We should get out of here," she suggested, her voice playful but sultry.

"Why wait?" Aarav smirked, taking her hand and leading her toward the exit, the promise of adventure-and something much more intimate-hovering in the air around them.
