Spring in Benaras. A raging storm. And a love neither of them saw coming.

Meera lives inside a triangle of mathematics, poetry, and music. Socially awkward and indifferent to worldly ambitions, she has built a quiet life away from people—and has no desire to change it.

Sheel is a corporate leader who is sharp, stoic, and standoffish. Everything in his life is planned, measured, and under control—and he intends to keep it that way.

What follows moves between Mumbai, New York, Amsterdam, and Goa: two people who love each other and keep getting it wrong, a best friend's wedding, a diary that should never have been read, and a question the book refuses to let go of: whether choosing someone means losing yourself.

She is a lone cloud that floats wherever the wind takes it, hangs over unknown places, and then takes off again, aimlessly. If only he could hold a drifting cloud in his arms.

For readers of Pride and Prejudice and slow-burn contemporary romance.
