Love's Gentle Caress
Than and Achara sat by the shore, the tranquil sounds of waves embracing their conversation.
Glancing at her, Than inquired, "What's on your mind?"
Achara, her gaze lost in the horizon, pondered for a moment. "When my brother and P.Nil reunite, we'll finally return home. Once there, the first thing I want to savor is my mother's Tom Yum Goong, the perfect blend of spice and flavor, and her exquisite Som Tam, the Spicy Green Papaya Salad."
Than, gazing at Achara, "Then..!" he inquired, a subtle roll of his eyes.
Achara, her eyelashes lowered, responded, "Um, Thann, what about you?"
As Than contemplated his reply, Kim's insistent calls interrupted the moment. Attempting to evade, Than feigned a network issue, bringing a wry smile to Achara's face. However, Kim persisted, compelling Than to disconnect the call abruptly.
