**Summer Love: OS Contest Voting** - Page 2

1) Pickled Love... just because it gave me a happy feeling and made me think of simpler times and simpler lifestyles. I don't know... it must have been based in the present, but it made me wonder about a time gone by. The setting was just lovely, and the story - so simple, romantic and sweet - just what I had needed on a day like this. 

2) I met him in the Shower... aah well a hot body with flexing muscles and a tall lean frame a lot of fictional characters have, but a smart mouth and a saucy tongue? Boy, I love everything coming out Aaryan's mouth!  And I loved when he referred to Krishika as Kiss. Such a smooth man. I really enjoyed reading this one.

There are few others that deserve mention:

-> Of Immortality and Radiance - This was beautiful and melancholic. I loved the narration and it touched me to a point that it made my eyes fill. If I had a third choice, I would have gone with this for sure. 

-> Summer Mist - I loved Aahna's character. She was real and one could relate with her. I liked the ending but really missed  seeing Nachiket's reaction to Aahna's return :)

-> It Happened One Summer - Cute! You had me at the use of "Chocolate intolerance?" 😆 i don't particularly enjoy chocolate ice creams myself but everyone around me seems to be obsessed with it.
