without warning, it felt as if inji had been launched into yet another strange new limbo.
khusobek thought about marriage; her new friend talisman had been denied entry, and now she was alone again. she hated it, that feeling, that ache in her chest. waiting for something to happen, for something to change. for something good to happen to her. and her life was good! so why did she still feel — unfulfilled?
she stares down at the ripples in her reflection, the dried rose petals and sage drifting through the bathwater. she knows she should get up, go do something productive, tend to someone; and yet she could not bring herself to.
she did not like being alone in this room.
