Dawn was just beginning to color the sky as Saif and Sasha saw the outskirts of Riyadh appear on the horizon. Saif turned to Sasha and said, “Believe it or not, even after all this I’d like to see you again.”

Sasha smiled, placed her hand on top of his on the steering wheel and squeezed it.

By the time they drove into the streets of Riyadh, the sun had risen. They passed nondescript gray and brown-colored commercial shops and residential apartment buildings, piled on top of each other in angular cinderblock and concrete. Throngs of average Saudi citizens were already gathered on the sidewalks, on line for buses. They clustered in ragtag groups with parcels under their arms and babies cradled against their chests, hot wind whipping at their robes and scarves. This was the other side of Saudi Arabia. Given her life as a privileged consort to the royal family, she had seen it but never really taken it in, and after the events of the last two days she now experienced it through fresh eyes.

Then the twenty-two carat gold onion-shaped domes of the 1,700-room Royal Palace came into view, glittering in the sun. As the car neared the white stucco perimeter walls surrounding the Royal Palace’s grounds, she forced herself to look at peddlers inching carts of their wares along the streets, their robes already sweat-stained, and women walking beside them with hopelessness in their faces, their melancholy children at their sides.

In that moment she realized that it would inevitably come to war between these two worlds in Saudi Arabia, and that her life here could never be the same.
