Veda and Arjun stood in front of the door of this wonder woman Arjun couldn't stop talking about. She saved the clan. That sense alone made Veda feel like she owed the woman her life, especially since a war didn't break out.
"I just need you to be her tour guide, get her acquainted with everyone and just take care of her," Arjun said as he knocked on the door.
The door was opened in a rush, and a wave of honey, tropical fruits, coconut water, and deep hot spice flushed against Veda's face. Suddenly she was hyper-focused on the woman standing in the doorjamb, her deep black eyes that could swallow her whole, her full lips that Veda knew could pulled into a sweet smile and Veda fell instantly. Until realization hit, Veda noticed that this woman's face was horribly swollen and her eyes had dark circles underneath them. Every inch of Veda's body wanted to heal this woman.
