Come Love A Stranger

Alador couldn’t look at her neither did he push her away, /"the dream felt authentic because I was here, my presence affected it, t’s nothing./"

Mariah sobbed, tears trailed down her cheeks and she kept her gaze on him, /"I died in that dream, I don’t need you to tell me and my dressing told me it wasn’t of this time. What year was it, I know that you know./"

Alador shut his eyes tightly, he refused to look at her, to look at her tears, /"I have to go./"

/"No,/" she said immediately, /"please don’t go, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to but please don’t go, stay with me, please./"

/"My presence would not let you sleep, you shall keep having nightmares till I leave./"

/"If you hold me, I won’t,/" she suggested and he looked at her then, /"yes, Alador, I can feel it./"

Alador shook his head, /"that is not right, t’s forbidden./"
