That night, lying on the blanket under fairy lights in Leila's dorm room, Amina turned to her.
"I've never felt so… understood. So loved," she murmured.
Leila brushed her lips along Amina's temple. "That's because you are, completely. And I'll always be here, every step of the way."
Their hands roamed gently, teasing touches and soft caresses building a slow, tender intimacy that left them breathless.
