"Truth?" Kishra stated. "What truth do you want to know from me, Biham?" she asked with a crease in between her brows. "Everything was right in front of you."
Biham shook his head. "No Kinshra," he said. He grabbed her hands and squeezed them. "There was something that I didn't see."
"But you made an informed choice when you rejected me," Kinshra replied as familiar pain seared through her heart.
"That is incorrect!" Biham cut her off. "It wasn't an informed choice. The day I rejected you, I felt as if this was the wrong-est thing I had ever done in my life. It felt so out of character." When he saw confusion all over her face, he said, "Let us start from the beginning. Tell me when you met Sirrah, did she do anything to you?"
"In that you have to tell me. How is Sirrah doing and does she know that you are here?"
Biham jerked his head back. "Don't you know?"
"Know what?"
"I have sent Sirrah to the dungeons."
