credit for this scene goes to dee for mentioning that pragz should've tied abhi to a chair and made him watch the video with her alone, and to donny for endorsing my idea of restraint too...you'll see ;)
FICLET: Where the heart is
"I only wish..." Abhi's gaze travelled back up, dwelling for a long moment on her lips but then finally meeting her eyes. "I only wish you had Fuggy's heart, too..."
Their eyes locked for a long moment, that old familiar habit they had never been able to break. As she looked into those portals of his soul, Pragya read...anguish. Loss. Defeat.
All at once, a flood of regret doused Pragya's exhilaration. She looked away from him, unable to hold his gaze as every doubt she had ever had about this mission surfaced in her mind. She hated to face what she had done to him.
Her eyes fell on her mobile, face down on the floor.
Like the first beam of sunshine after a rainstorm, hope and excitement swelled freshly in Pragya's heart.
...and since they were about to finally be free...
