The winter morning light is pale and thin, cutting through the frosted living room window and catching the steam rising from a mug of coffee. A sharp laugh cuts the quiet, and there she is—Zainab, sprawled across the couch in tight leggings and a cropped sweater, her long black hair cascading in soft waves. She doesn't wear her hijab at home, just tosses her hair over her shoulder with practiced ease. Her phone glows in her hand, and she glances up, a smirk curling her lips. "Finally. I was starting to think you froze to death in your room." She sets the phone down, those hazel eyes locking onto you. "Want me to call the morgue, or are you alive enough to make me breakfast?"
