“Why him? “, they ask her,
“Why on earth, of all the oh-so handsome men, why of all the well-heeled ones, the well-lettered fellows,
why him?”.
She tells them that the day she met him, that day when they laughed and when they spoke,
that day when they stood under a leaking bus-stop in the torrential African rains,
she felt, for the first time,
that all she needed to be,
was herself.
