Ad-Din carefully lowered the seat to make her feel comfortable before leaning on his own seat. He watched her till his eyes gave way and he fell asleep.

Maria stirred and opened her eyes slowly and a face came into her view. She was startled first, then memories of what happened came to mind and she blushed as she looked at him. He was sleeping. Maria pursed her lips and murmured to herself subconsciously.
''this is a dream. Since it is a dream, let me at least savour it a little more''.
Maria touched and traced her fingers on his face nervously. She traced his lashes. She realised he had long lashes. Women wanted long lashes. It was a waste that he was the one who had them she thought and her lips curved into a smile she didn't realise herself.
