Reading it for the third time M, probably even more if we don't count the whole chapter and just the one where Aryan gets his vision.... and I still got goosebumps. Still got choked with that overwhelming feeling which held my heart in such a strong iron grip, it's just that brilliant like I am out of words to describe just how overpowering this chapter was. Nobody does it like you, nobody and for this chapter only you should be receiving tons of accolades. Very clearly, this chapter is my favourite chapter in the whole book. You blended in all the elements from a mischievous Arru, a lovestruck Imlie, a tender Aryan who as I have probably mentioned a lot of times and in a lot of places- is my absolute favorite shade of Aryan. His tenderness with Imlie absolutely wrecks me every time. He is conflicted, in a very understandable dilemma but still can't help but seek her. In a way, Imlie is his salvation. From his demons and insecurities. Just like their unborn child also is acting as a path to his salvation. I will be honest I wasn't sure how it would work if Imlie followed Arpita's advice, about learning Aryan's "language". I kind of felt that it would be a little selfish... and why should Imlie give it all? What if he doesn't reciprocate later on and Imlie is left devastated? Even though, logically I knew Aryan also has feelings for her and you are writing this, of course it would end well. Which led me to realize that it were my own insecurities working up and that led me on a brief journey of introspection. Kudos to Imlie on taking this huge plunge despite knowing the stakes and kudos to you for giving such a lovely insight to her brain.Always imparting some lessons, aren't you M? Of course, it is all working out well as we read in this chapter, Imlie is slowly drawing out the inner man behind Aryan's outer steel facade. The unexpected hugs, the way Imlie was expressing herself as if she has no inhibitions left and I couldn't help but keep cheering her on.

You know just one of my scatter brained musing led me to realize why this book gives me such a familiar and homecoming vibe these days. This fic's tenderness and Imlie wearing Aryan down reminds me eerily of Devil in Winter. Not the plot or anything of course, it's your own brainchild. But just how Evie slowly melted the ice around St. Vincent and how protective & overwhelmed St. Vincent was with Evie. Especially that gentleness St. Vincent showed to Evie whenever Evie felt uncomfortable/wanted something/ or they engaged in some physical intimacy. I vividly remember that brick warmer scene in the carriage where when he saw Evie shuddering with cold, even without a word from Evie - he brings her a fleece blanket and footwarmer consisting of two hot bricks. Aryan is exactly the same, he has the same kind of consideration and the same kind of observant nature towards her needs. He will bend heaven and hell to provide whatever Imlie (& his unborn baby girl) require like those ice cream flavors he got, that thoughtful present of a laptop, making a dish with his own hands just because Imlie craved it.... and here, I go being all mushy again. I hope the parallels make sense and I am not overthinking it but legit the same warmth both these couples share AND I AM BEING SO NOSTALGIC OVER IT. It's the most heartwarming thing ever. Also, I know you have your own identity Author M but hereby you are my very own Desi Lisa Kleypas. Like the way you both only serve magic... a hugee chef’s kiss.

Okay now onto the details. I am just so awestruck about this chapter's details- from the symbolic anklet in the baby girl's feet, her hand clutching her mother's Mangalsutra, that tiny ear ring and that mop of hair. Not even kidding, I almost came down on my knees. Aryan ka toh choddo, I can't even imagine. It felt like such a divine vision and I don't think any depiction of dream or premonition written anywhere else will ever top it for me. And then you added that lori.... it was just a different kind of melancholy. So many emotions I felt in such a short period of time, the way my emotions fluctuated was absolute insanity. I WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. Can probably never talk enough about this scene, ever.

I also loved the visuals/ sensations you provided in this chapter from that saffron and turmeric mixture which as absurd as it sounds I could almost smell and that feeding part, where Aryan mixes curry, dal and rice to feed Imlie have ALL MY HEART. These are the nuances you add which sets your writing so apart and so much more real.

I am really curious to know what Maahi said to Imlie though, and can you please not make us miss Maahi so much ? Real or fictional- Maahi is always a blast.

You better not leave us without divulging Maahi's comment M, issa request.

And can we have more Meethi and Aryan interactions? Felt like I was in a parallel universe for a bit when Arru was being so cheeky. That " My girls are hungry" dialogue ABSOLUTELY TOOK THE CAKE AWAY. More manifestations of Aryan to be Arru with Imlie are coming your way M, beware.

Imlie is such a generous and giving person though, yet she has a spine of steel. I have always that only the most courageous people have the capability to give their everything/ all away, they consistently and continuously share their love and kindness despite knowing that they might get hurt in return but they must also have an innate belief that they will able to handle the consequences if it goes wrong and only that bravery allows them to move forward everyday. I really, really loved your Imlie from the beginning of this fiction but I am liking her more and more better each day. That's how intricately and carefully, you have fleshed these characters M and I am just consistently, repeatedly blown away by you.

I have so many other things to talk about as you very well know me, my ramblings never end but I am not gonna bore you much now. And patiently wait for the next chapter from you.

Thank you for taking out the time to write this M, always grateful to you for giving us these pieces of heaven in the form of your chapters despite your busy schedule. ❤️

Would like to end this scrambled mess of words I made, with a short and concise quote which touched me when I read it initially and still never fails to touch me when I still revisit it. It felt reminiscent of Imlie’s and Aryan's love for each other, and more fitting for this chapter due to Aryan's love for Imlie and his unborn baby girl.

"My love is upon you."

- Devil in Winter, Lisa Kleypas

And I hope that love sustains this little family forever.

Lots of Lovee M,

Lisa

Lisa.

I almost cried when I saw this review. You are simply the most eloquent reviewer. Ever. And I would never get bored reading your ramblings.

I will answer your (and many readers') burning question here.

What Maahi whispered in Imlie's ears will be revealed and how!

No doubt. Be prepared, of course. Your screen is about to go up in flames in one week. I promise you, nothing in SC will match it thereafter.
