Excerpt – Getting Married

 

Just a little something – something.

 

Good evening.

 

 

“Her face lit up – and in that smile; that inner glow that responded to my mumbled words I saw a familiar yet new sight. I saw – and felt the way you would feel, coming home after a hard day and looking at that one house in your neighborhood that tells you if there’s power or not – and seeing brightly-lit windows without the noise that accompanies a generator. You have to be Nigerian – specifically living in Lagos to fully grasp what I’m saying. Suffice to say – I looked in her face and saw hope.”
