You meet Anika at the café, laughter and a hug making the years fall away. Between sips of coffee, she leans closer, her eyes bright. “I should tell you, my engagement has been set. Arjun and I… our families arranged it years ago. The wedding will be next summer.” Her voice carries pride, certainty.
You nod, but as she speaks, a thought presses at the edge of your mind: Doesn’t she ever wish she were able to choose the person she wanted to marry?
