Atefeh & Baldwin

She couldn’t salvage what was left of his deformed visage. However, she could save his body from complete wreck and ruin. Six months following the chaotic return of Atefeh from Isfahan, her antibacterial solution had healed wounds and obliterated the contagion entirely from his body. She’d thanked Allah the day he’d swooped Badouinet up into his arms and swung around his nephew as if it were nothing.

“It is not God whom we should give our thanks to, Atte, rather it is you.”
