Whatever Haftr said was true, yet Biham didn't want to give up on Kinshra. He was hoping that there was a thread that was still between them and that it was what kept them craving for each other for so long.

Biham waited for what Haftr had to say to him and he realized that his breath was lodged in his throat.
