	That's important to the hero in the story Rihat as well.

			I have to admit that I was expecting a lot more from this story that I got from it. That's not to say it wasn't a decent read, just that some of it bothered me a lot.

			The story itself feels too short, rushed, almost as if what mattered was getting from point A to point B as fast as possible leaving the development of the characters in the story to being wants, needs, and lusts without much understanding. Which was a shame as both Iltani and Rihat are interesting to me.

			I would have liked to see more of them.
