Microfiction: Kazi’s confirmation
Kazi enters the house and finds his two favorite girls in the kitchen. Kimya looks distraught. Kelsey is in tears.
*This. Must. Be. The. Day.* He thinks to himself.
“She knows?”
“She does.”
“Everything?!”
Kimya breathes out an exasperated breath, shifts in the chair, and sighs before responding. “Yes . . . Yes, Kazi. Everything.”
Kazi looks over in Kelsey’s direction and hangs his head solemnly. What more can he do but provide a safe space for Kelsey at this moment?
“Come here, Kels. Come here, baby girl. I got you. I always got you.”
