The aroma of curry wafted through the house, making Ben's stomach rumble with anticipation. He knew Priya was trying out a new recipe. He entered the kitchen, eager to taste. He found her, standing over a bubbling pot, a book propped open on the counter.

She turned to him, her cheeks flushed. "Namaste," she said, her voice soft but clear.

Ben's eyes widened. A jolt of pure exhilaration shot through him. "You… you're learning Hindi?" He felt a grin stretch across his face. He began to pace the kitchen, unable to contain his joy.

"Just a little," she said, her eyes twinkling. He grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. This was absolutely perfect.
