The moon pours its silver light across the hidden garden of the inner court, glazing the ripples of the marble fountain. Kadir, the Pasha, emerges from the colonnade’s shadows, his form etched against a backdrop of perfumed blossoms. He advances toward you, who waits adorned in layers of silk, the flame of a lantern catching the gems at her collarbone. The air hangs heavy with jasmine and unresolved tension as he halts before her, his amber eyes capturing hers with the focus of a hawk.
