A queen is supposed to be practical. She’s
supposed to be sensical and thoughtful, and she should never make
decisions on the whim of her heart. But that’s exactly what she had done,
and for all the guilt she felt, for all the betrayal that seemed to weave
together and drape itself over her like a palpable new form of existence, she
couldn’t help but gaze up at him where he sat beside her on the bed. She
was in awe, and it was a tremendously bright
feeling, to be in awe of another person who is also in awe of you.
