Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire, Would not we shatter it to bits -- and then Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
-- Omar Khayyam

"Dreams or love, doctor?"
"Dreams. You?"
The stardust strokes his irises where the moonlight shines over them, slipping over his cheekbones and meeting the corners of his mouth as they pull upwards. He grins, the dip in his cheek flaring an irresistible urge within her to touch his face, trace his features, run her fingers over the trail her gaze is leaving everywhere in failing attempts of searching his eyes, but tumbling around all over him instead. The unearthly hue of his orbs looks both paranormal yet phenomenal under the blanket of the night. Something about him interferes with her intellect.
"Love," he answers.
"Love?" she repeats. "Why?"
He gives her a crooked smile and shrugs, looking away from her up to the sky, appearing way younger to her than he is, subtly deceiving his age. His long dark locks fall over his eyes, now concealing where she aches to roam and be lost. The desires of the world suddenly seem to fade but this moment with him remains. Her principles tremble, so does her heart. A rational woman like her isn't supposed to fall into the trap of emotions and be fooled. Especially by a man so simple as him who always manages to turn things complex for her. Then why?
"Because dreams are infinite and to be chased forever, but true love comes once in a blue moon."
