From a sudden spark with a stranger to a surprise run-in with an ex, and even an encounter with the monster under your bed, connections can come from the most unexpected places. This collection of shorts explores the messy, tender, and sometimes monstrous ways we relate to ourselves and each other, reminding us that there’s always room to love a little better.

Same Time Next Year?

Expecting another uneventful Jummah, Safa finds herself trapped with her overbearing family and an angry ex.
