ELI: What happened?

AFZAL: He came to Atlanta, Christmas 2009. A solid fellow. Catholic. Irish. You know the type. But very smart. Could keep up with that mind of hers. Like you.

He came to my office. Very respectful. Asked for her hand in marriage.

ELI: They wanted to get married?

AFZAL: Over my dead body. That’s what I told him. Zarina cried that night. Oh my God, she cried. But when it was over, it was over.

Pause.

ELI: When what was over?

AFZAL (Perhaps with a hint of pride): She broke up with him.

Just like the Prophet’s daughter did. Left the man she loved, because he wouldn’t become a Muslim.
