A Visit from an Old Friend

Aaron impatiently waited at Heathrow. An old friend had flown over from South Carolina -- Chris. The older male had been a source of comfort to Aaron growing up. His mother, Cindy, had fallen for the African buck Faheed, and they'd adjusted together -- to Islam, to their mothers with Africans, to Aaron's attraction to cuckoldry.

He gave the older man a hug when he arrived.

"As-salamu alaykum," Chris said amiably to a fellow member of the faith.

"Alaikum salam," Aaron recited back. Surely Chris could help Aaron figure out his marriage with Fatima.
