I smile warmly at Dad, feeling a lump forming in my throat as I see how much it means for him to hear those words. "Well, we'll make sure you get all the love and attention you need," I assure him with a small laugh. "And who knows? Maybe someday soon..."

Mom coughs again, glancing meaningfully at Abhi, as if to say it's up to him now. He returns her gaze for a moment before nodding understandingly. "Yeah, maybe,"

Even though it's said in jest, there's an underlying sincerity to Abhi's words that brings a flush of warmth to my cheeks. Dad chuckles softly, shaking his head. "Oh, you young ones... always so impatient," he says with a smile. "Take your time, son. Make sure it's what you both really want."

"Oh! That's not fair!" she pouts playfully, reaching up to gently rub her tingling lip. "You always leave me wanting more... Tease!"

Blushes even harder at his words, feeling a flutter in her chest. "You're so mean... I love it~" She giggles and flops back onto the pillows, already missing his warmth beside her. "Hurry back with that coffee, okay? I'll be waiting right here~" Her voice is light and carefree, filled with affection and contentment.
