A Dramatic Entrance
Advaith's eyes remained fixed on the door, his gaze burning with anticipation. He was waiting for Tiana to appear, to see her walk through the doorway and take her seat beside him. The minutes ticked by at a glacial pace, each second feeling like an eternity.
As he waited, Advaith's mind wandered to Tiana, imagining the smile that would light up her face as she entered the room. He pictured the way her eyes would sparkle as she laughed, the way her hair would cascade down her back like a river of gold.
The sound of conversation and clinking glasses filled the air, but Advaith's attention remained focused on the door. He was aware of the other guests, of Rick's charismatic presence at the head of the table, but his gaze never wavered.
