Chapter 59

• Cesmae's POV
• I sat on the bed, listening intently. “She caught your eye?”
• “She did. She wasn’t like the others. Everyone else was busy trying to impress, desperate to be noticed. But Iridian—she stood out because she didn’t seem to care about any of that.” A small smile played on his lips as he spoke. “She was different. While the other women were trying to get my attention, she was outside in the garden, dancing barefoot under the moonlight. There was something so... free about her.”
