it was when we got back from the market that I realized we wouldn’t have goodbye sex,

I kept my gaze on her and occasionally moved it the the papers spread out on the
couch. she was trying to make sure all her documents was complete and they were after minutes of sorting. satisfied with her work, gradually, the papers on the couch started entering her file bag until there was just an empty couch with me on the right hand, looking and praying
that my girlfriend gets a moment so we can go over to the bed and lie down and maybe cry because I will miss her so much.
‘make sure you don’t forget anything’
that’s how to pack for a trip and my girlfriend with my input, did that. she made sure she didn’t forget anything.

“I say make you open booth Oga Akpan”

beside the car waiting for Oga Akpan.
the booth clicked and in a second Oga Akpan was beside me loading everything into the car.
it was when we sat down inside the car after locking up the gate, that it occurred to me, that we didn’t kiss.
