I loved Khushi's introspection. It made you realise that even today, just like it has always been in her life, she wasn't asked what she wanted. Arnav announced his feelings, and I can see why he did at that moment, but I can understand what Khushi must have felt. A reason for more opprobrium to be heaped upon her.

The way you ended their conversation made what you showed of Khushi's thoughts even more powerful. Lovely chapter, Rose.
