I just returned to read it, again. It is, indeed, a masterpiece. Every time I find something new that holds my attention and makes me think. Now it's " she did not exactly look forward to the call, it unsettled her, though she would worry more if it didn’t come through"
How perfectly you caught the feeling when one thing hurts but the lack of it hurts even more.
I read it again now because I wanted to see where the gem 💎 happened. To me, it's here:
"“You’re all right,” Shalini said, not correcting him."
Because at first, it's just confusing. Then with hindsight you know why the line was there. Then you read again, and it's just beautiful. I can see and hear Shalini so well through her choice of words and intonation. A masterpiece, indeed.
Heartbreaking.
