Suddenly, Anandi felt eerily alone in the big unfamiliar house. She consoled herself with the thought Shiv would be home soon. Maybe she could talk to him and see where he was at.
She searched with her hand for her phone in the dark beside the bed as lightening momentarily lite up the room once more. Beyond the thunder she thought she hard a sreech... maybe an open window somewhere. She shivered as a gust of wind blew through the netted window carrying with it the sweet smell of rain.
