She was leaving home. All she had were some clothes, her sitar, Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare and Charlotte Bronte. She grieved for her past which fell away, as she rose into the skies.
She didn’t know what she’d face when she arrived in the New World. All she knew was that he was there, back in his country, having arrived a day earlier from hers.
