Meera began acting distant. She would suddenly stop talking mid-sentence, her eyes fixed behind Aarav as if she sensed someone.
One night, as Aarav walked her home, he noticed a black car parked across the street. Its headlights were off, but someone was inside.
Watching.
The next day, Meera didn't come to the station.
Nor the next.
Her phone was unreachable.
Panic settled in Aarav's chest.
