She found herself drifting into staring at him as she waited for his answer, losing herself in his eyes and the details of his face.

Those dark, slightly arched eyebrows that gave such a regal feeling to his expression.

The way his eyes crinkled ever so slightly at the edges when he smiled, revealing that despite all the kindness he'd always had in his expression, there was always a trace of that deep sadness that he always hid behind his smiles.

That loneliness and rejection he carried from a lifetime and world from before - one she assumed his memories had been blended with fiction for.

That world which had forgotten him, made him crave being needed.
