Her face was so familiar, everything about it. From her sparkling eyes to the way she raised her eyebrow when she talked. Alistair couldn’t wrap his mind around it. She was the Princess, of course everyone knew her. But, there was something in the way she moved that brought back memories. Memories he didn’t even know he had.
