Nidhi was pretending to study, but she could feel Avinash’s gaze from across the library table. Finally, he slid a small scrap of paper toward her.
It just had a hand-drawn box and a question: Are you busy Friday, or should I be nervous for nothing?
Nidhi bit back a smile, took his pen, and scribbled underneath: Stop being nervous and just bring chocolate.
She pushed the note back, her fingers grazing his for a lingering second. Avinash grinned, and for a moment, the quiet library felt a lot louder.
