On a summer night by the river, Priya stood watching the fireflies dance. Lost in their glow, she didn’t notice Rohit approaching.

“You always come here alone,” he said softly.

Priya smiled. “It’s peaceful.”

Rohit stepped closer. “You know… fireflies only glow to find their mate.”

She turned to him, her heart racing. “So, what are you trying to say?”

He held out a small jar with a glowing firefly inside. “That maybe… you’ve already found yours.”

Priya’s face softened. “Only if you’ll stay… and watch them dance with me.”

They sat side by side, two hearts glowing brighter than any firefly.
