“It’s not about never breaking, beta. It’s about being willing to rebuild together. And remembering that the strongest hearts aren’t the ones that never fall—they’re the ones that choose to get back up, again and again, for the person they love.”
Jagdeep looked at Simran, who was reading in the armchair, her feet tucked under a blanket. He smiled.
Simran looked up and winked.
“I’m sorry,” he said, voice rough. “For shutting you out. For thinking I had to be strong alone. You were right—I don’t let people in. But I want to. I want to let you in.”
One night, after a particularly grueling audit, Simran fell asleep on the office sofa. Jagdeep covered her with his jacket and sat watching the rain streak down the window. For the first time in a decade, he didn’t feel alone.
That stung because it was true.
Their relationship did not explode into passion. It simmered.
