They actually walked out of the room together for dinner. She sat on his chaise lounge browsing while she showered (in his bathroom, bedroom area)
When he was done he walked out to find her giggling poring over her phone.
When he walked over to stand by her she looked up, dressed in a pebble grey chudidar and kurta. All his chikan outfits absolutely delicious, with fine offwhite threadwork all over
He was barefeet at home many times she noticed

Just a regular couple chatting..
That thought made her happy

"Le sakte hain he whispered
"Multiple choice? she asked softly
"Bilqul nahi" he said firmly without a smile😳
