thinking about it. She hoped that it would work. Amir was really an amazing guy and Soraya needed to see it. “See you at the wedding,” she called out as she left.
     

Chapter 10
     
    Soraya did not even want to ask herself how she felt about Amir. She was afraid of the answer and this was something she was not ready to deal with - nor did she know how. Sara's words lingered in her mind, even though she did not say much. Sara called him a good guy. Unfortunately, for
Soraya, she had not seen that side of him yet.
     
    Amir was waiting for Sara anxiously. He turned towards the passenger seat as Sara slid in the car.
     
    “Well?” Amir asked.
     
    “She will come,” Sara said with confidence.
     
    “You're sure because?”
     
    “Well, she didn't say no and you didn't even tell me that her whole family was already invited.” Sara hit Amir in the arm. He looked at her with a smirk on his face. Sara narrowed her eyes at him. “I knew it! You wanted to get me in there to speak with her to see if I can find something out about her,” Sara added. Amir laughed guilty.
     
    “So, did you find anything out?”
     
    “Not yet, but soon.”
     
    “Soon?” Amir asked as he started the car engine. Sara turned to check on Leylah. She was awake and playing with her feet. Sara smiled at her little bundle of joy. At three and a half months, Leylah was already able to sit up and make advanced sounds. She could already recognise faces, scents and sounds. Sara was so proud of her advancement. She was well ahead of her age.
     
    “Hey, sweetheart, you're not tired?” Sara rubbed Leylah's belly.
     
    “I tried to put her to sleep but she's not sleepy,” Amir said. Sara blew Leylah kisses then turned to face forward. She buckled her seatbelt.
     
    “I am having a bachelorette party. I will invite Soraya.”
     
    “That sounds good.”
     
    “You're not invited. Ladies only.”
     
    Amir made a sound of complaint. Sara laughed. The party was the perfect opportunity to get to know Soraya. She didn't know many people in this country, and having Soraya as a friend sounded like a good idea.
     
    “Are you having a bachelor's party for Tariq?” Sara asked Amir. 
     
    “No,” Amir's tone suggested that Sara had asked a very stupid question.
     
    “Well, why not?” 
     
    “Something he definitely would not be into.” Sara agreed with that. Tariq was very uptight. He would not want a party. The night before his wedding, he'd probably be in his room reading over paperwork.

    The night before the wedding had come. Sara was excited for her bachelorette party. She was excited to see her friends Keira and Kaleena. Between the baby, the wedding planning and their work schedules, she hadn't seen them in ages. Also, her best friend, Alex, was due any minute. Sara and Aaliyah were waiting for everyone to arrive. Her mother and Fiddah were upstairs with the baby. The twins were the first to arrive.
     
    “Sara, we missed you,” they both said and pulled Sara into a tight hug.
     
    “I missed you too.” Sara was very happy to see them. She gestured for them to sit down. She introduced both of them to Aaliyah.
     
    “Where is Leylah?” Kaleena asked.
     
    “She's sleeping. She had been awake most of the day,” Sara replied.
     
    “Aww, poor thing.”
     
    “Hopefully, she’ll sleep through the night now.”
     
    One of the maids walked in with Alex. Sara turned and saw her. She jumped up and ran to hug her.
     
    “It's been too long,” Alex said.
     
    “I know,” Sara replied.
     
    They pulled away from each other after a long embrace. Sara introduced Alex to everyone. Alex and Sara had a quick catch up. Alex was telling Sara about what had been happening since she
