Avni slowly shifted towards Neil and took his hand, squeezing it so hard that Neil feared it would go numb. He was confused with the sudden behavior. She was still on the call. He can smell the soft fragrance of her, luring his mind towards her. Just then Avni let go of his hand, signs of regret visible on her face, mumbling an apology. "What's wrong?" Asked Neil. "It's.." Avni was about to spit it out but then it hit her. "It's some issue regarding work. Nothing huge." Neil realized how self centered Avni was. But its okay. It's understandable because they just met each other. It would take time.
