Zara has three rules about Aryan Khanna. Don't think about the night he left. Don't wonder what he was going to say. And never, under any circumstances, take him as a client. She has broken all three in the same week. Aryan has spent seven years building an empire and telling himself it was enough. He is decisive, disciplined, and in complete control of every room he enters. Every room except the one where Zara Menon is sitting with her highlighter and her composure and the particular expression she gets when she has already found the thing nobody else was looking for. He asked for her by name. He ordered the green curry. He proposed thirty days in Delhi that are equal parts business and everything they never finished. He is aware this is not his most rational decision. He finds, for the first time in seven years, that he doesn't care.
