That's True. in bet'n, tug of wars are treats when done subtly and not forced. They also build a solid bond and bank of scenes for future FBs.😊
Putting a tidbit from my current reading, in novel, it was Kumud who had written first letter!😆The current dream theme has a base in that. In novel too she describes her kindled anticipation and acquiescence to her 'Chandra' on finding their betrothal, a parental act, ( but with a slight modification. it was deliberated by SC's grandmother, who outmanoeuvred Guman's numerous obstructions- there too😆- and convinced LN to accept it when VC was in Mumbai).
But there, SC who was on verge of refusing, was immediately capitulated by so refined a letter from her. He immediately gave a nice reply and then went straight to Ratnanagari !😆
