Being in Faiz's arms was the best feeling ever. I was back where I belonged. 

"What an amazing surprise!" He whispered, tightening his arms around me. "Why didn't you tell me?" 

"Because that's the whole point of a surprise." I pulled back slightly, to look up at him. 

"I thought you were going to stay longer?" 

"I wanted to, but Ammi insisted that I come back." I said. "I have responsibilities here as well." 

We heard someone clear their throat and turned to see Sumi walking down the hall from the kitchen, holding a slice of orange which she was about to pop into her mouth. "Orange you glad that you answered the door, Bhai?" She grinned. "Get it? Orange? Aren't?" 

"Give up comedy, Sumi. Take your caring brother's advice." He shook his head. "Did you know about this?" 

"Of course. Rida Appi picked her up from the airport and dropped her off, while I helped her through the courtyard door." Sumi replied. She turned to head up the stairs, but seemed to remember something because she glanced over her shoulder at Faiz. "My idaah is over. Tomorrow, I start my unpaid internship in the HR department of the hotel." 

"Wait... HR?" Faiz asked, looking surprised. "I thought you were going to work in Sales."

"I prefer HR." She shrugged. "Dad authorised it."

"Dad authorised it?" His jaw clenched. I had no idea why he was overreacting. I mean, no matter what, Jamshed Uncle still possessed the decision making powers.

"I wanted to work in HR." Sumi replied. "What's the big deal?" 

He shook his head. "Never mind." 

"I swear, you're such a weirdo sometimes, Bhai." She ran up the stairs, shaking her head.

"What was that all about?" I questioned my husband, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing." He pressed his lips against mine. "Let's go inside before we freeze out here."

I feel asleep, after Gul Aunty and my other Nands had returned home, worn out from the flight, and woke up at eleven at night, after everyone else was asleep. Faiz was awake, watching some action film on his iPad, his earphones plugged in.

"Hey, you." I softly touched his arm and he looked at me.

"Hey. Nice nap?" 

"Nap? That felt like a full night's sleep, and the night hasn't even started yet." I sat up, stray locks of my hair slipping out of my pony, brushing the side of my cheek. "What are you watching?" 

"Some film that everyone's been talking about. I figured that I'd give it a try." He took his earphones out and set the iPad onto the bedside table. "So, now tell me, what do you think of this house? Or room?" 

"It's beautiful, Ma Sha Allah." I admitted honestly. "The room's so big that I feel a little cold, though." 

"No problem." He took a remote from the top drawer of the bedside table and pressed a button. "This is the temperature control. You can is to control the heat, and set the temperature at whatever makes you comfortable." 

I snuggled under the warm duvet, smiling. "You've thought of everything." I moved closer to him, pressing my hand against his chest. "You know what would really warm me up?"
