Layla was, by nature,
quiet. She didn’t like to run her mouth unless she was confident she knew what
she was talking about. The problem with this? She was constantly
underestimated. People thought she was stupid, spineless, humorless. A fellow
student in one of her college Spanish classes had gone so far as to suggest she
was mute. She’d spun around in her desk and dressed the other girl down in
Spanish. Being quiet was viewed as a handicap; she attracted men who didn’t
care if she spoke at all. Her close friends, her mother and half-sisters knew
otherwise, but to strangers, she was just a blank, brittle girl that didn’t
leave much of an impression.
