The Sweet Apology
"An offering to appease the queen."
To make amends for the junior's query, Sid waited by the rear school gate with a small brown paper packet. "Bribe rejected in advance," Isha said, crossing her arms without looking. Sid popped open the wax paper, revealing warm, sugar-crusted hot jalebis. "Not a bribe. An offering to appease the queen." Isha’s resolve wavered as the sweet aroma hit the evening air. She snatched one, biting down with a satisfying crunch. "You think you can fix jealousy with sweets?" "Did it work?" Sid grinned, stepping into her space. Licking a drop of syrup from her thumb, she sighed, "Unfortunately, yes."
