Cultural Adjustments

As Elizabeth entered the seventh month of her pregnancy, her household had changed quite a bit. The entire family was on a halal diet. The master bedroom was solely for Yusuuf and Elizabeth. The crosses and other Christian decorations had been taken down. The only religious item in the house was now Yusuuf's prayer rug.

Douglas looked around his home. He looked in on Aaron -- always happy to see him. He looked in on Emily, who was now even more distant. He had to do this soon, he thought. He put his ear to the door. Yusuuf was fucking Elizabeth again, Douglas smiled. He would do it very soon.
