    The stars shone off of the impossibly tall buildings, the distant city skyline a glittering reminder of what was at stake. They had broken a protocol set for decades, and they knew what happened to the rebellious. It would not belong before morning. The rising of the sun would end this illusion, and the Foundation would come for them. Hearing the sigh of his sleeping breath, Calliope held Levan tighter. The warmth of his skin took her back, back to when they still had time. * “Levan, I am to be your bride.” The petite, blonde woman standing in front of him blushed. Forcing down the lump in his throat, Levan managed a smile. “Frann. How wonderful to see you again.” He spoke with a stiffness that he couldn’t quite mask. Since childhood he had known that this would be his fate. To become married to someone he could never love. The Foundation allocated spouses in adolescence, according to family wealth and projected career. This was said to maintain order and prevent passions from becoming too high. The Foundation was not interested in passion, it was not conducive to a functional world. Frann was of a lordly family and he was an esteemed scientist in the biolabs. A great match, on paper. But Levan had fallen in love with another. Her dark hair, womanly body and sweet scent were on his mind even now.

We shall see you at the signing, then?” Levan answered automatically, “Of course, sir. I look forward to it.” He left as fast as he could without drawing suspicion. He had to get to Calliope, had to confirm their guess was right and the time had come. The sky was full of craft tonight, mostly public vehicles carrying people home from their work day. The occasional private shuttle could be spotted, with their updated tech and shiny exteriors. Levan sometimes dreamt that he could buy one for his beloved, that they’d fly away and he’d show her a world outside of the city. When he reached his apartment, she was there. Silhouetted against the window, she wore a black robe and her hair spilled over her shoulders. “Is it done, then?” her voice barely a whisper. He crossed the room to her, spinning her around to face him. “It is not done yet. It will not happen. Everything we said is true. I will never want anything but this.” He caressed her shoulders, staring into her brown eyes. Usually so full of hope, tonight they were dulled. He had seen this look before.
