He wished he could let her go. She, who smoked Silk Cuts and lived in the pages of second-hand romances. Who would stand on tiptoe, blow delicate smoke rings into his face and flit away, laughing delightedly. She, who would whisper in his ear, her breath caressing his cheek. She, who would break his heart.

    Thank heavens she’s back. It’s such a coincidence, Suraksha, my muse came back today too.

    And what a beautiful 55. Love the header, btw. You know, its strange, I can remember almost every one of your headers. Right from the golden mangoes pile that was on when I began reading your blog.

    I’m so glad she did. It shows in Untitled Bombay-4! And thank you. :)

    It’s absolutely flattering that you remember all my headers! :D Yay! I think I might put up a page of past headers. Hmm?

    D Rat –

    Erich Segal, I like. And yes, this isn’t the same. :) If one is forced to pin a label on it, it would be a story of obsession I think. Love doesn’t quite get there.
