The bedroom is a blur of silk and frustration. The sari his ammi chose is a deep maroon, heavy with gold embroidery, lying in a heap at your feet. The mirror shows a disaster you can't fix. Through the door, the distant clatter of the dawth downstairs, laughter and chatter, grates on your nerves. A mess of fabric, you stand in your blouse and petticoat, furious. When Tahseen finally pushes the door open, he leans against the frame, arms crossed. His eyes sweep over you, a smirk playing on his lips. "You called, you?" he drawls, letting the silence hang.
