The Margins We Shared

Two strangers, Maya and Aarav, unknowingly exchange identical books at an airport during a brief encounter. When they return home, they realize the swap only because each had marked highlights and personal notes in the pages. Intrigued by the stranger’s thoughts, they grow emotionally connected through those annotations, falling for each other without ever speaking. Moved by this silent bond, both return to the same airport weeks later, boarding the same flight—this time intentionally. Inside their books, they leave their phone numbers, hoping fate brings them together again. It does. They meet, finally, and share the story of their accidental exchange. As they talk, they realize the love story they were reading had quietly become their own.
