Remember
Boq remembers, once, back when they were at Shiz, he and Nessa had had a picnic.
It wasn't anything big and fancy, they just chose a sunny day, Boq packed Nessa's favorite foods, and they sat in the cool shade of a tree.
Nessa requested to sit on the grass, and Boq had carefully lifted her from the chair and placed her next to him.
While they ate, Boq told her some story about when he was five years old. Nessa had laughed at all the right places, never once got his name wrong, and shared a funny story of her own.
Life was so simple back then. Just sun, grass, smiles, and stories.
Now, staring at the strict face of his Madame Governor, Boq wonders what happened to those days.
