This was a beautiful story. So unexpected and lovely. I loved reading about their love growing and maturing without sex.  I have Muslim friends and I've always admired how the women are treated. I used to meet my Muslim friend for study groups and either her Mom or sister would come. They were always warm and friendly. It's a custom I greatly admire, especially coming from a culture that encourages women to be so indepedent. I often wished that I had someone really looking out for me.   Eshan was just too perfect. I loved everything about his character.  I really enjoyed reading this story!
