The first few months were the hardest. James struggled to adjust to life in Delhi. The bustling city, the new people, and the rigorous academic schedule left him feeling lonely and overwhelmed.
He missed Sophie terribly. Her absence left a void that nothing could fill. They talked on the phone every day, but it wasn't the same.
Sophie, too, was struggling. Medical school was demanding, and she often found herself buried in books and assignments. She missed James's comforting presence and the way he always knew how to make her smile.
