Nora could've written this script... 🤨

He took her hands at the wrists and removed them from where she clutched at his throbe. 

"She is a member of the House of Jaquir. The fact that your blood runs through her veins is 

only more reason for her to be separated and properly trained before her 

betrothal to Kadeem al-Misha."

"Betrothal?" Wild with fear, Phoebe clutched at him again. "She's only a child. 

Even in Jaquir you don't marry off children."

"She will be married on her fifteenth birthday. The arrangements are nearly complete. 

Then she will at last be of some use to me as the wife of an ally."

"It's a long way back, Addy. Too far. When I married Abdu

 I left it all behind. 

More than I understood then."

"I like being here with you." Despite all the cookies and tea and lemonade at the couturier's

 she was hungry, but she didn't want to say so. "There is so much to see. 

When you told me about places like this, I thought you were making up stories. It's better than a story."

Phoebe opened her eyes to stare out the window. They were driving along the river in the most romantic city in the world. 

Recklessly, she lowered the glass and drew in a deep breath. 

"There, Addy, do you smell it?"

Laughing, Adrianne leaned closer, like a puppy, to let the breeze race against her face. 

"The water?"

"The freedom," Phoebe murmured. 

"I want you to remember this moment."
