"Sort of?" Layla shrugged, not really sure of the best way to explain it. "Mercy is even smaller than Madison Valley so it's sort of nice to have some freedom." It wasn't a lot of freedom because she was still an observant, devout Muslim who prayed five times a day and lived with her Imam, but it was nice to have a break from her dad. Even if she did miss him, and her mom.
"I miss my parents though, and my friends. We're a very close community so I miss going to Fatimah's after school and stuff. I'd love some of Fatimah's cooking." Layla groaned quietly. Those sorts of things were what mattered most in life and while she was incredibly grateful to have Amaar as her guardian, it was still a little awkward.
