"Meri shaam, raat. Meri kaayanat."

From @fitrahgolden:

Edge of the Earth - Chapter 1

“Please,” he forced the word through his clenched jaw. “Go inside.”  Like it cost him something to say.  Kate did not move.  She should have argued.  Should have said something—anything.  But the exhaustion—the constant restraint, the expectations, the careful performance for a society that had already judged her—pressed down all at once.  “Go inside.”   Or A canon divergence set during S2E7 where Anthony tells Kate to go inside—and Kate listens.

A short story was not on my "end of summer" bingo card, but here we are.

Thank you to @fitraghgolden for this prompt that has just not left me alone for the last month.
