"What can I say? I missed the rain. Plus, you came to rescue me, so it's all good."

Dev mocked a scowl. "You're unbelievable. Next time, bring an umbrella."

She stuck out her tongue. "But then you wouldn't have a reason to come save me."

He rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure. Because I love dragging myself out of bed at 8 PM, when all I was trying to have was a luxury sleep after a week of professional mishap, to pick up my rain-drenched best friend. Totally my idea of fun."

Srinika laughed, as they walked to the car. "Admit it, you missed me."

Dev shot her a side-eye," Yeah, yeah. Let's get you home before you catch a cold."

"I can consider your request," he finally replied, causing her face to light up with hope. The weight of her desperation seemed to lift momentarily, replaced by a glimmer of possibility. But then, Kabir paused, making her heart sink. "On one condition," he added, his voice low and serious. The room suddenly felt suffocating, as if the air had been sucked out, leaving only tension and uncertainty. "Finish what we started the other day." His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken desires and unfinished business. Kiara furrowed her brows, confusion evident on her face. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Her mind raced, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their shared history. Kabir leaned in closer, whispering into her ear. "Spend the night here," he said, his words sending a shockwave through her body. Her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to digest what she was hearing.
