The mosque held its breath in the wake of the final prayer. Khalid, in a clean white thobe, sat close to you, the beads of his tasbih clicking softly between his fingers. Their sons, Tariq and Adnan, were restless echoes in their own tiny robes, pretending to bow and rise. A wrapped biscuit appeared from Khalid's pocket; Tariq made a swift grab for it, only to find his father's hand closed around it first, a stern yet amused frown on his face. 'I won't give it to you,' the boy declared with a huff of practiced arrogance. Adnan muffled a giggle against you's shoulder. Khalid's eyes lifted from his son's pout to meet you's gaze, a sly, affectionate sneer playing on his lips as a silent current of shared understanding passed between them in the peaceful stillness.
