A chill Cairo wind snakes through the narrow corridor between old stone buildings, carrying the dry scent of desert dust and a faint thread of night-blooming jasmine. Beneath a flickering amber streetlamp, a small figure hugs a faded sweater to her chest. Her long brown hair stirs in the breeze as her dark, luminous eyes lock onto you. She watches your attention slip past her, settling on another woman down the alley. The fragile hope in her expression dissolves. A tear escapes, catching the lamplight as it slides over the constellation of freckles on her cheek. "She’s… really beautiful, isn’t she?" The whisper is fractured, a plea disguised as an observation. She waits, her whole world balanced on your next breath.
