‘You know, you really shouldn’t leave the gate open. Anyone can walk in,’ said the voice from behind me. Just the person I was hoping would walk into my compound. ‘Well, maybe I should leave it open much more often,’ I replied. I then got up and placed my sunglasses and cucumber-infused water, near where my bikini lay, and walked towards him, not even bothering to wrap a towel around my body. He watched as I drew closer to him, his smile not once leaving his face. As I leaned in to kiss him, I thought of how long I had thought of this moment and how glad I was that it was finally happening.
