    The nurse, whose name is Amra Ademovic, had warned Idris and Timur.

    She had pulled them

    aside and said, “If you show reaction, even little, she going to be upset, and

    I kick you out.”

    They are standing at the end of a long, poorly lit hallway in the men’s wing

    of Wazir Akbar Khan

    Hospital. Amra said the only relative the girl had left—or the only one who

    visited—was her

    uncle, and if she’d been placed in the women’s wing he would not be

    permitted to visit her.

    you read this letter, Mr. Markos, for when I gave it to you I requested that

    you not open it until

    after my death.

    Parwana smells it before she pulls back the quilt and sees it. It has smeared

    all over Masooma’s

    buttocks, down her thighs, against the sheets and the mattress and the quilt

    too. Masooma

    looks up at her over her shoulder with a timid plea for forgiveness, and

    shame—still the shame

    after all this time, all these years.

    “I’m sorry,” Masooma whispers.
