In the Name of Love
by A.S. Mara illustrated by beili Someone was ringing the doorbell. Loudly. Hamzah groaned and rolled over, squinting at his phone. The glare of his screen told him it was far too early to be up on his day off, but that certainly wasn’t stopping whoever was at the door. He put his phone back […]
