In Between Glances...by Miss Bidhuri

Tanishka never liked Ritvik-and for good reason. As her best friend's boyfriend, he was everything she couldn't stand: controlling, arrogant, and unmistakably toxic. His cold stares and cutting remarks made it clear he had no patience for Tanishka, and she never hid her dislike in return. Yet, strangely, they had never spoken a word to each other.

Still, whenever they were in the same room, silence spoke louder than anything else. Their eyes would meet across crowded parties, tense dinners, and casual hangouts-always too long, always too intense. Neither could explain why they kept looking, why it felt like something unspoken passed between them every time.

Torn between loyalty and the dangerous pull of curiosity, Tanishka begins to question whether hatred is the only thing tying them together. In a world where everything is blurred by secrets and unspoken emotions, one thing becomes certain-sometimes the people you should stay farthest away from are the hardest to ignore.
