 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Advika’s strategy worked. Suresh immediately felt the worry and tension ebb away. His serious expression was replaced by a relaxed, happy one complete with a wide smile. Especially when that kiss was planted on his cheek. “That’s okay. The important thing is that no one’s in danger.” Thank Merlin for the mercies of life! “I bet they’re spoiling her rotten,’’ he joked. But truthfully, his own parents were not that different. The man would never understand why grandparents were seemingly weak when it came to their grandkids. “Well, I can say I’m at least surprised.’’ A small laugh accompanied these words but he was not laughing at Advika. Now that it was established all was good, he was laughing at the situation.
There was something different about this kiss. It was true that Advi was always passionate but Suresh felt there was something more this time around. He watched her head for menus afterwards. “Hungry, are we?” Nope, this fella hadn’t the foggiest about the secret currently being kept. “Paneer curry and naan for me.” Sur eyed Advi. “Anything else for you? Something for dessert?” The list was being made mentally. |
