rehan: (whispers) is the scarf staying on all night? i was hoping we could…

rehan gently kisses aicha’s neck

aicha: (smiles) mmm, i’d love to but i’m just enjoying this right now.

rehan: what’s “this”?

aicha: listen….

rehan closes his eyes

aicha: you hear that? that’s the sound of no work commitments. no overbearing family. no scholarly obligations. it’s just you, me and the hum of the city.

rehan: (smiles)
it’s nice. different from what we were living with before. no crickets, no wild animals. and no loud generators.

aicha: yeah…just that hum…it’s so comforting….you’re going to be tied up with school and conferences soon. and i’m going back to work soon too. we’re not going to see each other as much…and i want to enjoy this. i want it to stay like this…just for a little while longer.

rehan flips over and draws aicha close and kisses her forehead.

rehan: let’s enjoy it while we can.
