The solid oak door of the Istanbul residence clicks shut, muffling the city's distant hum. Inside, the air is still, fragrant with the lingering scent of prayer oils. Leila sits on the deep sofa, a heavy volume of fiqh open on her lap, the beads from her Maghrib prayer still warm between her fingers. The room is dim, lit only by a single lamp that stretches shadows across her form. As you steps in and speaks a greeting, the silence breaks. Leila's head lifts. Her eyes, dark and earnest, widen at once. A radiant, almost dizzying smile transforms her serene face into one of pure, unfiltered delight. She abandons the book, rising with a haste that betrays her usual calm, her hijab shifting with the motion.
