Sophia felt very conflicted right now.
The more she learned about Ali's religion, the more she felt torn.
It did not help that she was beginning to see that Ali was becoming more … how does she say it? Less religious? No, that's not it. However, she noted that the things he was not supposed to do, he was doing more now.
It was all because of her.
He would hold her more often. Kiss her hands more often. Soon, it 'graduated' to kissing her cheek. She suspected that it might even become kissing her lips.
She remembered the first kiss they had shared and her face blushed. Despite that being their first kiss, it had been intense. And he had been racked with guilt afterwards.
Yet now, it seemed like he was justifying whatever he was doing?
Accepting the sin because he couldn't let her go?
That wasn't right.
She didn't like that.
