13 April

Asim popped his head into Sidharth' office.

"Anything else before I leave, sir? Everything is prepped for the remainder of the day."

"Hm?" Sidharth looked from his watch to Asim's face, a pen poised in his right hand. "What's today?"

"Today is my appointment at the dentist." Asim pointed at his mouth as if to demonstrate that dentists deal with teeth. "I emailed you and put it in your schedule. Is that still alright?"

"Yes, yes. Enjoy your afternoon of getting your teeth poked at." Sidharth shuddered and looked back down to his paperwork. "I hope you have a nice, long lunch planned for afterwards with lots of sweets." Asim's eyes crinkled, his grin infectious. Sidharth nodded at him, a small smile curling his lips. "Have a nice rest of the day."

"You too, sir. Let me know if you need any help with your travel arrangements. Raj left me a message asking if you'd taken care of it yet. He said he'd reimburse you as soon as you do."

"That's not necessary for him to do that, but thank you for relaying the message."

Asim went to leave, then swung his upper body back inside the office, gripping the door.

"Oh! I forgot to ask if you read over the updated schedule yet."

"No," Sidharth ran his hand through his wavy hair, "I've been swamped with this Singh-Khan nightmare all day."

"When you get a chance, give it a look. Jasmin and Raj really outdid themselves planning fun activities all week. Shruti is so excited we'll be there in time for ballroom dance lessons!"

Sidharth stared at him for a beat, his fingers holding a packet of paper open, his body frozen.

"Buh--" He licked his lips, his chin tilting left. "Ballroom dancing?"

"Thursday afternoon!" Asim's mobile rang from his pocket, a bashful smile crinkling his eyes. "Sorry, I need to get going. I mean," he straightened up, "may I--"

"Yes, yes," Sidharth waved his hand forward, "please. Get going."

Asim called a cheerful, "Bye, sir!" over his shoulder as he flew out of the quiet office.

Sidharth steeled his expression, his hand releasing the packet to grip his mouse. He opened his personal email and double clicked on the newest email from Jasmin.

Hello loved ones!

Here is the schedule for our magical time together. Obviously each activity is optional, but we hope to see you as at many as you can attend! If you'd rather sit one out, be sure to bring lots of sun cream and your bathing suit! The beaches are beyond beautiful!! So excited to see you all!!

Namaste and love!

Jasmin and Raj! xoxoxo

"Namaste and love," Sidharth whispered to himself, double clicking the attached PDF. "Namaste, love, and exclamation points."

The multi-page schedule opened. Even though Flamingo Cove, the resort they chose for the trip, was definitely on the more sophisticated, elite side of all-inclusive tropical resorts, Raj and Jasmin managed to wrangle multiple large rooms and beach settings for their week of events. Money talks.
