Adi murmured his own apologies.

Veer ruffled his brother's curls and kissed his forehead – a gesture that had not made an appearance in years.

Veer shook his head regretfully. "She left," he said quietly. "And I don't know where she went; she didn't say. She probably didn't know herself."

"Will she be all right?" Adi asked solicitously. "Furry bhaiya..."

"Is a bloody stupid man," Maya interrupted.
