Meera looked down at her lesson plans scattered across the rug, then glanced toward the master bedroom door, listening intently. The house was completely silent. In an unprecedented stroke of miracle luck, Atharva, Shivani, and Shivansh had all conked out early, completely exhausted from the day's excitement.

Meera looked back at Vijendra, her eyes softening as she reached up to cup his cheek. "You're right...viju, we really haven't. And honestly, looking at the peace in the house tonight, I think the universe is finally giving us a break."
