Our story
Two roads, for a while a long way apart
2016 KNUST, Kumasi
A borrowed pen
A Monday lecture in the old engineering block. Kwame asked the girl beside him for a pen, and kept it. Serwaa says she noticed. She let him.
2018 Lake Bosomtwe
The long way round
A day out with friends, one wrong turning, and four hours on a road that should have taken one. Nobody minded. We talked the whole way.
2021 Accra and Kumasi
Two hundred and fifty kilometres
Work took Kwame to Accra. Every other Friday one of us was on the evening coach, and every Sunday on the one back. We know that road by heart.
2024 Ejisu
The knocking
Kwame's family came to Ejisu to knock at the Oduros' door, with drinks and a great many uncles. The door was opened.
2026 Ahodwo, Kumasi
One plain band
Under the big tree in the garden, with a ring made by a goldsmith in Kumasi, he asked. She had her answer ready.
2027 The same garden
Two rings, one road
On 16 October, under the same tree, two rings become one. The only thing missing from the picture is you.
