hasani stared at me curiously and i found myself mesmerized by his dark gaze.i wanted to rush to him and cling to him as cleopatra had antony , but due to convention , i could not.we could n't show such affection in front of the queen- it just was n't done ... not in the daylight hours.it would be considered disrespectful.i was sure that cleopatra would n't mind , but antony and hasani would both think i had lost my mind .
