Walking in the rain didn't sound like a bad idea. Naima didn't want to sit in a car alone with him.

That wasn't the plan.
Naima looked at him weirdly after shutting the door. "Fine. . .but don't try anything funny."

Cliché. . .I know.
But it did happen. And personally Naima hated clichés.
She was clearly going to hate him too.
But she didn't design life. No one did.
And Tawfiq had a way of sneaking up into people's lives if he wanted.
And he wanted to sneak into the one hijabi in his French class.

As the saying goes, Nothing is really truly hidden...
Forget Disney and fairy tales.
For this is a whole different tale.
