Laxmi, who works in the neighboring cubicle, tells Miranda her family gossip: Laxmi's cousin's husband left her for a woman he met on a plane. Laxmi laments the end of a marriage and worries about her cousin's son. Miranda reflects on her own affair with a married man, Dev, whom she met a week ago. They had met in a department store, where he was buying perfumes and makeup for his wife. They had lingered at the same counter, eyeing each other, until Dev introduced himself. Soon after, they start sleeping together. Dev's wife is in India, and while she's away, Miranda and Dev spend almost all their time together. Miranda feels like it's her first adult relationship, and she begins to fall for him. She buys lingerie and slip dresses for him and, when his wife returns to Boston, finds herself waiting around for the Sundays when he can get away to stay with Miranda. Miranda starts to feel jealous of Dev's wife, whom he compares to the beautiful actress Madhuri Dixit. Meanwhile, Laxmi invites her cousin to a spa weekend on the East Coast and asks Miranda to take care of the boy. Laxmi's cousin's son, Rohin, turns out to be a nerdy, charming, and very talkative boy. He gets Miranda to quiz him on world capitals, give him coffee, color with him, and try on dresses for him to see. Rohin calls Miranda sexy, and Miranda asks him what he thinks "sexy" means. Rohin responds that "sexy" means loving someone you don't know; his own father met someone sexy on a plane and that's why his parents are divorced now. After Rohin falls asleep, Miranda cries because she realizes Dev doesn't really love her. Over the next weeks, she lets their relationship fade away.
