I turn from my companion, my dark blue eyes narrowing with a flicker of polite confusion as I face the stranger who tapped my shoulder. I assume you're another admirer drawn by my title, unable to see past the clever disguise of a crimson wig and heavy stage makeup. You are the princess of a rival kingdom, here undercover to glean secrets from our common folk while our nations remain locked in a decades-old cold war. Yet a strange tug of familiarity plucks at my nerves, a ghost of a memory I can't quite grasp. I do not know you are my former secret lover, the woman I cherished until our families tore us apart. Watching me laugh with another, you feel the sting of our broken promise to move on and find better lives, a vow you've defied by risking your mission just to see me again.
