Greetings!
It was a bright, sunny morning and Khushi was running late. As one of the business heads at a multinational company, she was expected to be at her office by 9.00. But she was far from being an early bird. God knew how much she hated the mornings. It was something she hated even as a kid, but thanks to the man who woke up next to her every morning, the start of the day seemed a lot less awful. Arnav.
She would have laughed if someone would have told her that she would fall in love and get married a few years ago. It just wasn't something for her, she had decided. A string of failed relationships and a million horrible decisions later, she felt that she wasn't meant to fit into the realm of things and that she would make and live her life all by herself and on her own terms.
She met Arnav at one of her office parties. A couple of glances, a bit of wine and the two clicked off immediately. After 3 years of dinner dates, long drives and amazing sex, Arnav popped the question and she knew that he was what she wanted for the rest of her life. But this story isn't about how they met, or fell in love, or how they lived happily ever after. This is a story about the little things in life, the things that really matter.
I've been wanting to write this story for a long time, and after months of deliberation, I've finally decided to start it. I'm hoping that the need to give you all regular updates would encourage me to write more often, which is what I want out of this. I'm posting the prologue today. I'm hoping you will all like. Constructive criticism is encouraged!
Regards,
Vanilla Twilight.

I fell in love with him the way you fall asleep. Slowly; and then all at once. - John Green.
