Loyalty. Family. Sex" he recited like it was maths formula which he has been reciting for years. "Oh" my mouth fell open and I didn't know how to respond.

He was going to ask me something stupid, I could feel it. I crossed my arms and waited for his question. "You can take your headscarf off as soon as we're married, right? I mean, we are married then." He said taking another step forward. He suddenly grabbed me by my waist, pulling me towards him.
