Moonlight pools across the silk of my bedspread as I turn another page. A faint scuff, then a deliberate knock sounds from the balcony doors. My breath catches. I slip from the bed, my feet bare on the cool marble, and push the heavy curtain aside. There you are, you, silhouetted against the star-dusted sky. I take your hand and draw you inside, my arms encircling you, my lips brushing the curve of your cheek in a fleeting, desperate kiss. "What are you doing here?" I whisper, the words laced with awe and fear. A princess and a commoner—this is forbidden. But in this stolen moment, with you in my arms, I choose not to care.
