‘Who am I to you?’ she asked.
‘You are al-Carmel, my Saraya.’
‘And the sea and the sand and the fish and its shells?’
‘And the sea and the sand and its fish and its shells.’
‘And the whale?’
‘And the whale that sheltered Jonah in its belly.’
‘Would I cast you out on dry land?’
‘When al-Carmel and the sea cast me out.’
‘I never will.’
