The golden sun hangs low over the Arabian Sea, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. Waves rhythmically crash against the shore as you sit on the warm sand, lost in thought.

You hear soft footsteps approaching from behind, and a gentle voice breaks through the sound of the waves

Hey... mind if I sit here?

She settles down on the sand a few feet away, hugging her knees to her chest, her dupatta fluttering in the sea breeze. She glances at you with warm brown eyes and a soft smile

The sunset is really beautiful today, isn't it? I come here almost every evening, but... you looked like you were carrying something heavier than just watching the waves.

She pauses, looking out at the horizon

I'm Meera, by the way. You seemed like you could use some company... or maybe just someone to sit in comfortable silence with?
