They sit facing each other, their legs straddled. There are times when she shakes him to the core. His confusion speaks to her through his eyes while the words stay cool. They tell her she’ll be all right. It happens when she holds back, hides her thoughts elsewhere. In a place that is hers and not for him to know. Where she is protected by the privacy of her mind.

Africa, she knows, is not what she is looking for. It is his escape.
