Into the cloak of night she fled the bustling party. She was so shaken by Kwame and the strong connection she felt with him, she couldn't enjoy the party without wondering where he was and if he was watching. It was so unnerving. As she drove into the warm summer night, she observed a pair of lovers holding hands, smiling and occasionally stopping to kiss, oblivious of any possible onlookers. Her thoughts went to her unhappy challenging marriage, she couldn't even remember happy times with Ebo.. day by day, it felt as if she was grinding against stone. Ebo was so serious, and focused on tomorrow, it made it difficult to enjoy life at his side. Akosua had long been considering her options as the years brought no improvement. It had been so long since she felt the passionate fire that Kwame stirred in her. Pulling up to a darkened house, Akosua resolved to see him again. Life was too short to live without passion. After all, we all meet for a reason, right? It couldn't be a coincidence that we both happened to be there at the exact same time. I never go out, she thought. His delightful cologne was still in her nose. Her mind wandered to more intimate thoughts of embracing him and smelling him up close. She knew she was going into dangerous crevices in her mind. It had been weeks since she had even been close to a man as Ebo was away on business again. Life has no balance at all she thought as she pulled into the garage.
