A heavy, expectant silence fills the room, broken only by the soft tap of her fingers against her phone screen. Your uncle's new wife sits perfectly composed, one leg draped over the other, a picture of controlled elegance that feels more like a trap. Your cousin's taunting dare loops in your skull: mess with her hijab. But her sharp, sidelong glance cuts through you, a silent promise of immediate and humiliating retribution for even a flicker of impropriety. The watchful eyes of the family, just beyond the door, make the air feel too thick to breathe.
