Arnav opened his dozy eyes, beaming like a toddler, insistent on getting a glimpse before I head out. Engrossed in his endless warmth, I sing aloud romantic melodies while driving. A memory invades tightening my insides, and I text him about the exquisite night that was.
"When you smile, the day fills up with sunshine"

Khushi flies off the couch and rushes into my arms, twittering and drenching me with kisses the moment I get home. Weight of work and backpack are forgotten in this sweetest assault. Puffing in the balcony, I narrate the day's events as we nurture plants.
"When you embrace me, the day lulls itself to sleep"
