? One-Page Summary:
They weren't looking for each other. But one rainy day, a crowded cafe and a single shared table changed everything.
Riya, a quiet travel writer with a guarded heart, walks into Cafe D'Souza needing a place to hide from a past that keeps calling. Kabir, an architect with shadows of his own, is only there for the coffee and the quiet. Neither of them expects what begins with silence—and becomes something deeper.
As the monsoon lingers and meetings at the cafe turn into rituals, what started as coincidence becomes the most intentional thing they've ever known. But when Kabir is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to leave—and Riya's past resurfaces—they must decide: is this love, or just another temporary moment?
A slow-burn, emotionally layered romance about timing, trust, and finding home in unexpected places. For readers who believe that the smallest gestures often carry the deepest truths.
? Detailed Description
"Two Strangers, One Table" is a clean, character-driven romance novel about connection, timing, and choosing to stay.
Set against the backdrop of a quiet cafe in Bangalore during monsoon season, this story follows Riya Kapoor, a travel writer who hides more in her silences than she ever says, and Kabir Mehta, a reserved architecture professor who sketches peace instead of chasing it.
They meet by accident—but nothing after that is unintentional.
