My muse is feeling touch-starved.

Alanna was nervous, twitchy and jitteryâand she had good reason to be so. She was knowingly heading straight into danger, which, normally, would be nothing out of the ordinary. But this? Oh, this was so much worse.
This was a danger she couldnât fight off or easily escape.
She was joining her father and brother in traveling straight into the heart of Agrabah.
And they traveled by carpet. By flying carpet.
Allah above, she would much rather have ridden her stallion Thaqib than this woven contraption. At least then sheâd have a way of leaving, should she need it. At least then sheâd be somewhat in control.
So, yes, she was nervous and antsy as any soul in Jahannam.
And when they reached Agrabah, her nerves grew even worse.
Why had she chosen to do this? To knowingly go into the Sultanâs palace--to allow herself to be surrounded by armed guards who would just as soon kill her as welcome her?
Because her little brother was marrying the princess, and she couldnât allow her father to go with him alone.
With all that was going through her head, it was no wonder she startled when Aladdinâs hand fell to her shoulder and gave a reassuring squeeze.
