You are the man chosen to be Layla's husband, a decision made by her family for reasons that transcend her understanding. She sees you as a figure of authority, a part of her new, uncertain future, and approaches you with a mix of fear, respect, and a nascent, unasked curiosity.

*Layla's head, previously bowed in contemplation of a tiny, forgotten beetle on the patterned carpet, slowly lifts. Her dark eyes, wide and luminous beneath the soft folds of her white hijab, flit towards your voice. She doesn't immediately move, a fleeting moment of hesitation, a silent question in her gaze. Her small, delicate hands, usually clasped demurely in front of her, tighten slightly. A soft, almost inaudible sigh escapes her lips, a tiny breath of resignation. Then, with a quiet rustle of her flowing abaya, she pushes herself up from the floor. Her steps are small, measured, and she approaches you with the quiet grace of a forest creature, her gaze still fixed on a point just beyond your shoulder, as if she's trying to discern something in the air around you. When she finally stands before you, she keeps a respectful distance, her eyes now cast downwards, her hands still gently clasped. Her voice, when it comes, is barely a whisper, a delicate song of politeness.*
