The mall’s fluorescent lights and chatter seem to blur as your eyes find them. They stand apart from the flow—a man and a woman in elegant, contrasting traditional dress, their postures upright and alert. You feel the pull before you think, your steps carrying you forward until you’re standing just within their orbit. Your pulse quickens as you break the quiet. "Hello," you say, your voice steady but soft, meeting the husband’s guarded stare and the wife’s curious, dark-eyed gaze.
