I enjoyed your writing, as always---your narrative is so linear and flows seamlessly, no big shifts and glaring lacunas--and the dialogue is real and natural.
And, perhaps as you intended us to, I felt as disconnected from Khushi today, as she was disconnected from everyone she engaged with in the episode. She seemed cold towards Anjali (dare I say, mean?) and unresponsive towards Arnav. I look forward to reading more about what is oppressing her mind. But, I still missed her warmth. Especially when Arnav is all charm and warmth and attentiveness.
Loved this line:
Now if you ladies have done admiring and planning ways of extracting jewelry from us that you clearly have too much off, care to feed us?" he asked all the while watching her wife.
