You never planned to fall for someone from work.
Especially not someone like Zayan Rahman, quiet, observant, emotionally controlled, and impossible to read.
At twenty-four, your life already feels too full. Between law firm deadlines, online math classes at night, family expectations, and the pressure of constantly proving yourself, romance is the last thing on your mind.
Then somehow, between late-night office tea, rain-soaked Colombo evenings, shared elevator silences, and conversations that feel a little too honest, he slowly becomes part of your routine.
And that's the problem.
Because Zayan notices everything:
the way you overwork yourself,
the way you avoid eye contact when overwhelmed,
the way you pretend you're fine when you're exhausted.
The closer you get, the more dangerous it becomes.
Not because he's careless.
But because he's careful.
And careful people love deeply.
