Summary
“You need to move out.” Now that he’s finally said it, he can’t seem to stop, caught between wanting to soften the blow and make it clear that he means business. “Not immediately, of course. I’ll give you three weeks to make alternative arrangements. You don’t have to pay me the rent for the last two months, either.” The words hang in the silence that follows, thick and oppressive as humid air. He feels sick. When he finally raises his eyes to meet Kaveh’s, he feels worse.
“Why?” The question is brittle as glass. Kaveh’s face is pale, his skin suddenly sallow as the morning light fades behind a cloud. Alhaitham can barely look at him.
Sometimes, being selfish is the hardest thing of all.
