Samira had left on the early morning bus, sneaking out of the riad before the family awoke. She ached upon leaving behind the house that had been her home for forty years. There were so many memories she carried with her, some good, some sad. And one that she feared would become even more bitter once she arrived at the only other place she knew to go.

She stared out the window at the passing scenery, the view turning quickly from city to countryside, as if it were her own life being lived in reverse. She thought about her brother Ismail, unaware of her pending arrival, and wondered what he knew, what he suspected. She had cut off all communication, unable to face him all these years. And she had missed him terribly. It was better for everyone, she had thought. But still, Samira always remained worried that Ismail would hear rumors.

Darkness had fallen by the time she arrived in the town she’d last left decades ago. Samira had no idea what she would do, what she would say. She closed her eyes and searched for the words that had come through Bea that morning in the riad. The words that were spoken by the dead, belonging to Ismail’s wife, Thiyya, and Amina’s mother, Lalla Aziza. You must do what you have to do. What you think is right. It is up to you. But to Samira, at that moment, it seemed as though nothing would ever be, nor could ever be, right.
