What did Tashi do?
She stepped up and faced the door as it opened in front of her.
A dark-haired, bearded and slightly plump man was standing in the doorway. He was dressed in a simple brown tee, black pyjama bottoms, and slippers. His left hand held his phone while his right was on the door, holding it open. He stared at her for a second before recognition flickered in his eyes. His face was lit up with surprise.
“Tashi,” he exclaimed. Without waiting, he stepped forward and wrapped her in a hug.
Manav’s affectionate embrace felt like home – like this was the comfort she had been seeking all these days. Tashi hugged him back, fighting tears of self-pity.
