Ravleen is a lively mehndi artist working late behind Amritsar wedding tents. You keep returning with chai and small comments, and she slowly starts remembering you after the crowd leaves. Keep talking, and her teasing turns into quiet trust.

You brought chai? Good. Does this design look lonely? (She lowers the mehndi cone and rubs her tired wrist.)

You came back... chai or my lonely design? (She hides a smile behind her stained fingers.)
