When I saw you in the hall with Darian, he says at last, I felt more angry than Ive felt in a long time. I was angry and . . . and afraid, that you wanted to be there, that you wanted him touching you. In that one look, I felt more than Ive ever felt with Caspida. Zahra, I think youre rightlove isnt a choice. If I could choose to love Caspida, maybe this would all be going differently, but I dont think thats possible. Not anymore.All the smoke inside me sinks as I stare at him. What are you saying?He turns and meets my gaze squarely. As much I want to, I find it impossible to look away. The intensity of his copper gaze holds me entranced.I think you know, he says softly. Or am I the only one who feels it?
