The world was newly colored, bathed in a warm, golden glow. Her grandmother, her rock, her everything, was embracing Islam. "I'm so… thrilled!" Amelia choked out, her voice thick with emotion, but it was not sadness. It was something else – something fizzy and effervescent. She squeezed her grandmother’s hand, her own fingers tingling. Tears welled in her eyes, blurring the familiar features of her grandma, but they were not tears of pain. They were tears of something… else. She felt like she could breathe deeply for the first time in years.
