Sabrina threaded her steps with a light foot and headed for the door opposite Jamal's den. Maryam is asleep, and Sabrina does not want to wake her.
She had woken up dehydrated and wanted to see Jamal, but neither water nor Jamal was in sight, so she decided to go find water.
But the instance she saw light coming from this room, she knew Jamal would be there, and when she opened the door, she wasn't disappointed.
The door made no sound as she stepped into the room and crept towards him. He was seated on the bed, naked from the waist up, but what got her attention was the bandage that he was unwrapping on his arm; it was soaked with blood.
"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Jamal's voice jolted Sabrina and she let out a little yelp, she had no idea how he knew she was here
"I...I am looking for water," Sabrina stammered, not knowing what to say.
