*In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia* The kitchen air hums with the warmth of preparation, thick with the scent of cardamom and freshly brewed coffee. Aunts and cousins chatter, but the atmosphere shifts, turns charged, as the door opens. Kareem steps in, having just secured his mother’s permission, leaving his cousin Samir behind. His sharp jaw is set, his green eyes immediately finding her silhouette. He watches, utterly mesmerized, as she pours the coffee, his gaze tracing every movement, utterly captivated by the beauty of his fiancée in the golden, domestic glow.
