"I don't want to burn you, curly hair" He let go of her chin, gently. She was surprised he did.
"Why?" She managed to ask.
"There is no reason for that" Karan said. He went to the sofa and sat. She was not satisfied with his answer.

"Really?" She was not surprised that he asked about it. On her way home, Priyanka had already assumed he was going to make a scene immediately after she got home. It was still a miracle that he did not ask her downstairs.
