David & Rosemond

He grew up in Sunyani. She grew up in Accra. This is how the two roads met.

A borrowed pen

I asked to borrow a pen. I had three in my bag. David
I knew. I lent it to him anyway. Rosemond
Night. He is at a window among forest trees and she is on a city balcony, both on the phone under the same moon.

Sunyani and Accra · 2022

Three hundred kilometres

Work took me home to Sunyani and kept her in Accra. We called every night, bad network and all. David
Some nights the line dropped nine times. He rang back nine times. Rosemond
A sunny family courtyard. He stands at the gate holding a basket of fruit while her mother looks him over from the veranda.

Meeting her mother

Her mother looked at me for a full minute before she said welcome. I have never stood so straight. David
She liked him by the second plate of jollof. She just didn't tell him for a year. Rosemond
A tall forest waterfall. He is on one knee holding up a ring and she has her hands over her mouth.

The question

I carried that ring down every one of those steps, certain I would drop it in the water. David
I said yes before he had finished asking. Rosemond
The two of them from behind, walking hand in hand down a long red laterite road between the trees.
