He’d called within an hour to say that Jalal’s original offer wouldn’t be “adjusted.” Lujayn had the feeling that Jalal hadn’t even let him state his suggestion. Figured. Jalal made his decisions then made everyone bow to them. She would have wished this one would bite him in the ass, as Fadi feared it would, if it didn’t involve collateral damage to more relevant parts of her family, namely their hearts and souls. But she had a feeling Fadi had other concerns. She’d been about to probe when her uncle had swooped down on her and snatched away the phone. She now stood watching him as he listened to Fadi. It was amazing. It was as if the man she’d known had only been animated enough to simulate the appearance of life. Now he was coming into existence for the first time under her eyes. If she didn’t hear this “long story” soon she’d bust something vital. But both her mom and uncle had so far avoided telling her anything more.
