"If I show you my scars, Will you still want me?"
"Show me yours and I'll show you mine."
In a quiet hilly town takes birth the story of two people with scratched skin and broken hands.
Aarohi, the eldest sister, stitching together a life of bitter softness with ink, espresso and animals.
Ragbir, hooded eyes, bruised hands, and a past that follows too closely, living in the rush of bike engines and echoes of the ring.
It was never written for them,
Until one rainy night -he crashes into her life.
And some collisions don't just leave impact.
They transform.
Between coffee, chaos, and convos left unfinished, something begins to grow. Like the broken was finally healing.

"You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."
