Canada. Studies. Work shifts. Graduation-my goal for now.
Amidst all of it, he stumbled into the diner.
Straight into my thoughts.
My mind kept returning to the moment we first met, until the words in my notes began to blur.
His ocean-blue eyes flashed through every thought.
I told myself it was a fleeting crush.
I told my heart to settle down.
And I did.
Until the day I got married.
I was destined for an arranged marriage.
Never in my dreams would I imagine him as my husband.
Alex Lockhart.
The man I once waved away as a passing crush... became my husband.
How am I going to navigate these unknown waters?
Krishna... what did you do?!
Alex
I always watched others have the love I craved-quietly, from the sidelines.
Then I saw her... and suddenly, the world shifted.
My heart recognized her before my mind ever could.
I asked her out on a date.
She said she couldn't.
I thought that was the end...
Until life surprised me with marriage.
Now?
Now she is my wife.
I can tell her heart is locked away.
But I'll find my way in.
And when I do...
I'll lock myself in there too.
