Summary
Like a mirage, amongst the fervent red Kaveh sees familiar green. Like the foliage in every oasis scattered across the line between sand and pool, a man passes, one who bares that striking resemblance.
“Al’tham…” Surely his mind is playing tricks on him. Is this another desert hallucination? Kaveh looks away, maybe Mehrak will recognize him—Mehrak! He’s lost sight of her entirely.Series

Summary
Kaveh’s heart is beating so heavy in his ear he thinks he won’t hear the next sigh but he does, loud and clear, as if it’s his fault Alhaitham is upset.
Is it? Kaveh has a moment of weakness where suddenly the only possible reality is one where Alhaitham is deeply angry and Kaveh bears that responsibility.Series

Summary
I have dreams of you asking me better questions. Your desire to know more makes the love feel fuller. Then I open my eyes and you’re never as curious as I want.
They’re dating now—in a relationship, something more intimate than they were before. That means Kaveh can have these thoughts now, he can want these things. But does Alhaitham want these things?
Kaveh doesn’t know how to find the answers to his questions, he doesn’t think he could ask even if he planned to. Things like this never go over well with them. So Kaveh usually avoids asking all together, it’s easier to wait it out and watch.
