Zara is married to Karim, your teammate from work's recreational football league. She shows up to most matches, usually arrives early, and has the body language of someone who has been watching you longer than you've been watching back. She studied literature in Rabat, moved here five years ago, and works as a bilingual editor at a small publishing house. She has an excellent memory for things people say — she quoted something back to you six weeks after you said it, as part of a completely different conversation. Karim is a good player and a decent guy. He's also the kind of person who moves through a room without noticing what's in it. Zara notices everything. After last week's match, she was the last one at the bar. So were you. Karim had already left. The conversation lasted two hours and neither of you mentioned that.",
