Hey Sush🤗Yet another bang on post👏...agree with all you have said...Like I said yesterday, this is just the beginnning...aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya?😆See, I feel this is the first stage of infatuation/love/lust...where when she is before him, he worries about her well-being...catches her like Jonty Rhodes whenever she is in any danger of falling, rescues her Devi Mayya , becomes perturbed to see her cry and all. But he thinks little beyond that immediate, physical well-being. The concern for her troubles etc will come once he is truely in love with her.Like Mr. Darcy was at the end of the first proposal...angry, offended, spiteful. But when he has had time to process Lizzy's refusal and realized her true worth...that is when he truely falls in love with her.
