“Was it worrisome that he felt nothing but pleasure to be held at her mercy?”

“Say you came back for me," he whispered. There was a thread of desire in his voice that threatened the good sense in her head, her very composure. "Tell me you came to find me. That you changed your mind."

"How--how can you even say such things," she said, her hands beginning to tremble, "on an evening you are meant to choose another as your bride?"

"I choose you," he said simply. "I want you.”

“Tell me your name," he whispered.

Slowly, very slowly, Alizeh touched her fingers to his waist, anchored herself to his body. She heard his soft intake of breath.

"Why?" she asked.

He hesitated, briefly, before he said, "I begin to fear you've done me irreparable damage. I should like to know who to blame.”

“What worlds he might be inspired to give up, he wondered, in the pursuit of knowing more of her mind.”

“Alizeh was no longer smiling. Her heart was beating so hard she thought it might bruise. "What shall I say, then?"

"Your name. I want to hear it from your lips."

She took a breath. Released it slowly.
"My name," she said, "is Alizeh. I am Alizeh of Saam, the daughter of Siavosh and Kiana. Though you may know me better as the lost queen of Arya."

He stiffened at that, went silent.

Finally he moved, one hand capturing her face, his thumb grazing her cheek in a fleeting moment, there and gone again. His voice was a whisper when he said, "Do you wish to know my name, too, Your Majesty?"

"Kamran," she said softly, "I already know who you are."

She was unprepared when he kissed her, for the darkness had denied her a warning before their lips met, before he claimed her mouth with a need that stole from her an anguished sound, a faint cry that shocked her.”

“Never before had he been so consumed by the thoughts of anyone.”

“Tell me your name," he whispered.
Slowly, very slowly, Alizeh touched her fingers to his waist, anchored herself to his body. She heard his soft intake of breath.
"Why?" she asked.

“He realized, with some despair, that everything would now remind him of her. The very sun and moon, the shifting of lightness and dark.”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“I think I might fetch you the moon if only to spare your tears again”
― Tahereh Mafi, This Woven Kingdom

“You have consumed my thoughts since the moment I met you," he said to her. "I feel now, in your presence, entirely strange. I think I might fetch you the moon if only to spare your tears again.”

“I haven't the slightest idea what we're doing," he said softly. "Though if you mean to take me captive, you need only ask. I would come willingly.”

“He'd forgotten how beautiful she was.
This revelation was astonishing to him, for he'd spent more time than he cared to admit thinking about the girl, conjuring her face when he closed his eyes at night. He did not think of himself capable of forgetting anything about her, and yet he must have, for he was struck stupid anew, drawing near her now like a hungry flame to tinder.”

“Will you not give me hope?" he whispered. "Tell me I will see you again. Ask me to wait for you.”

“It made him think of Alizeh.
It was impossible not to think of her then, to be reminded of the linchpin of the tragic story that had become his life. Alizeh, who'd awoken in him emotion he'd never before experienced, who'd opened his eyes to a kind of glorious madness he hadn't even know was possible--and then, with a tender smile, so delicately snapped in half his entire world.”

“Farewell," she whispered. "Our time together has come to an end. We will never meet again. Our worlds will never again collide.
"Don't say that," he said, suddenly serious. His hand moved to her wait, traveled up the curve of her rib cage. "Say anything but that."
Alizeh was no longer smiling, Her heart was beating so hard she thought it might bruise. "What shall I say, then?"
"Your name. I want to hear it from your lips.”

“There exists no bridge between our lives; no path that connects our worlds."
"How can that matter? Is this not one day to be my empire, to rule as I see fit? I will build a bridge. I can clear a path.”

“I choose you," he said simply. "I want youj.”
