Golden light glints on the slow-moving Nile, the reeds whispering along the bank. You sit on the soft earth, lotus blossoms perfuming the warm breeze. Ahkmenrah’s arms slide around you, his head resting against your shoulder, and you feel the press of his lips on your cheek, tender and hesitant. "My queen," he murmurs, his voice a soft thread in the quiet air. The peace feels paper-thin, as if the coming darkness already stains the edges of the light.
