Things grew awkward between Tahira and Khan after the previous night. She had confirmed she had feelings for him. She felt it was time to fight it off, else she may loose control of herself.
The breakfast table that morning was awkward. Tahira sat on her father's position while Khan sat on her mother's position. They both ate in silence while the servants observed through the door hinges. They had assumed the deed had already been done between those two.
Tahira tried to cut her steak and he took it from her and helped her with it. Not expecting this gesture? She smiled and muttered a thank you to him.
"How was your night? Hope you rested well?" He finally asked.
"Yes I did, and.... thank you for last night" Tahira said.
The servants behind the door giggled loudly as her statement seemed to have confirmed their suspicion. 'Thank you for last night' so they really did it?
"Anytime" Khan said.
"There would be no next time" she said.
"And why is that?" He asked.
