Sarah's eyes were watering, this time for a very different reason. She sniffed softly, "What does Jami mean?"
Ameera smiled tenderly, "Beautiful." She took Sarah's hand and kissed the palm before saying, "Now go, before I change my mind."
Sarah pulled Ameera into a heartfelt hug. She could feel her heart breaking. This had been one of the most emotional experiences of her life. With one more kiss, she was taken inside the airport, left in the hands of the authorities.
The rumble of the plane's engines was slowly lulling her into an exhausted sleep. She never thought she would escape alive. And there she was, on her way home, regretting her departure. She may have left the desert with her life, but a piece of her heart will always remain in captivity.
The End (I think...)

Rethink
I feel that if you put your mind to it you could develop a part 2. In which Ameera is driven to go to her Sarah. Now you take it from there. Looking forward to what you come up with.
