Kali:

I made a decision—to stop hurting Kalki. His patience and love were chipping away at my defenses, even though I knew he was Kalki—the most dangerous Mafia man. The breakfast was a quiet affair, and I settled onto the sofa, my legs aching from the menstrual cycle. I hesitated to rest them on the sofa, remembering how I'd insulted Kalki before. But before I could decide, he gently placed my legs on his lap, balancing his laptop on the armrest.
