    Summary

    Tighnari’s jaw snaps shut. They both watch in silence as Al-Haitham, ritual worshiper of the daily workplace routine, a transcendently habitual creature set in his ways since the moment he accepted this job offer, reaches thoughtlessly into his desk organizer for a pen and instead comes up with three-quarters of a pastel blue crayon.

    Al-Haitham pauses. He looks down at the crayon in his hand; then, at the document he was about to sign. Next, he casts his gaze across the rest of his desk, where it lands on a sheet of scratch-n-sniff stickers in place of his post-its and a heart-shaped hole punch replacing his stapler. His hand visibly twitches.

    I will get you, he mouths at Kaveh. Then he puts down the crayon and signs the phrase without breaking eye contact, just to be thorough.

    Good luck, moron, Kaveh signs back. Then he blows a kiss.

    Al-Haitham and Kaveh have a totally normal and mature workplace prank war of totally normal and mature proportions.

    Summary

    “Are you sure you want to do this?” Al-Haitham asks him again, with doubts in his eyes.

    “Call it sentimental or even irrational, but I see something in him that reminds me of myself… that’s why I want to try my best—no, trying isn’t good enough. I want to do my best, Haitham.”

    The little boy is beautiful—pale white skin contrasting his dark hair, with big eyes but a small mouth, making his features seem doll-like. Kaveh wonders what’s the story of this child that he had to end up here, in an orphanage.

     

    Or: Kaveh and Al-Haitham decides to adopt a troubled child.

    Summary

    Thoma’s breath hitches. His hand moves from underneath hers, slowly inching forward until it rests on her thigh. The air between them is charged with tension, suddenly.

    Ayaka can see his face inching minutely closer to hers. She’s leaning up to meet him, skin tingling everywhere they touch.

    It feels like something years in the making, something she was too cowardly to act on before she almost lost him forever and the world nearly lost its color.
