NOT LONG AFTER NOTICING THIS,
Saeed spoke to Nadia for the first time. Their city had yet to experience any
major fighting, just some shootings and the odd car bombing, felt in one’s
chest cavity as a subsonic vibration like those emitted by large loudspeakers
at music concerts, and Saeed and Nadia had packed up their books and were
leaving class. In the stairwell he turned to her and said, “Listen, would you
like to have a coffee,” and after a brief pause added, to make it seem less
forward, given her conservative attire, “in the cafeteria?” Nadia looked him in
the eye. “You don’t say your evening prayers?” she asked. Saeed conjured up his

THE NEXT DAY, at work, Saeed
found himself unable to stop thinking of Nadia. Saeed’s employer was an agency
that specialized in the placement of outdoor advertising. They owned billboards
all around the city, rented others, and struck deals for further space with the
likes of bus lines, sports stadiums, and proprietors of tall buildings. The
agency occupied both floors of a converted townhouse and had over a dozen
employees. Saeed was among the most junior, but his boss liked him and had
tasked him with turning around a pitch to a local soap company that had to go
out by email before five. Normally Saeed tried to do copious amounts of online
research and customize his presentations as much as possible.
