If I were to go on a date, or a luncheon if you will, with a character from my novel, it would be with Drew Harris,.... no wait, Jalil, who is Mariam's biological father. He is a rich man, who slept with a servant, Nana, and had a baby. Mariam must live with being considered a bastard, which is highly frowned upon in this society.
I would enjoy a meal at Bombay City, right next to Magic Wok in Mariemont because it is close to the type of food that Jalil would enjoy in his native Afghanistan and that it is geographically close, making it easy for the both of us. I bet it's cheap too.
We would eat Lunch on a saturday. Nice and Chill
I would eat with him because of how he feels about his life. Whether or not he was a failure, considering it was because of his mysterious personality in the eyes of Mariam. Because she wanted to be with him, Nana ended up killing herself. He tried to stay away, but Mariam wanted to know her father. What was his thinking when he slept with Nana, a servant? How did he deal with having a completely different second family?
This would be an interesting conversation, and Drew can come too.
Drew harris is my hero
