Once Taesha entered the airport that afternoon, at first glance, she noticed the name Burlington Kingdom Lee Airport. Not giving it much thought, she went to the baggage claim area and waited for her luggage to show up on the belt. Once she retrieved all her belongings, putting them on the cart, she rolled her cart over and stood across from the information desk as instructed in Dexter's letter. While waiting, Taesha hoped that Dexter would be the one to pick her up from the airport. She stood there taking in the exciting sights. She was dressed semi-casual in a pink long-sleeve blouse, her black full-leg pants, and her five-inch pumps. Taesha's massive hair was full of curls, and her makeup reflected the soft color of her blouse with fuchsia lipstick on her lips. Her eyes discreetly pay attention to the people, most of who appear to be business folks in suits and ties. And the females, with their slick flat iron hairstyles, wore dresses or skirt suits. They all look very wealthy and

Taesha swiftly speaks up to somewhat ease her mind. "Oh, I don't mind sharing how we met that night. I was on my way to a ski lodge. But, unfortunately, I got off work late and got into an accident on a detour road in Colorado." "Yes, Mrs. Lee, it was very kind of him to stop and help me. I will always be thankful," Taesha said, giving Dexter a look across the table that conveyed more behind that message than thankful. "Taesha, I've been meaning to ask you, how long do you plan on being in Burlington?" Pamela inquired abruptly, changing the subject. "Ma'am, I'm planning to stay at least two weeks." Taesha smiled, looking at Pamela and the rest of the family, that rapidly paid attention to everything she said out of her mouth. Then Taesha transferred her gaze across the table to see Dexter's reaction. Dexter, as he was about to say something, his Gamma begins to question Taesha further. "What about your family? What about your job? Will they be okay with you being gone for so long

"Is she gone?" Gamma whispered to Peggy while Pamela held Dexter in her arms. "Yes, momma, she's gone," Peggy says after looking out the front door. Meanwhile, Pamela lifts Dexter away from her shoulder but still hugging him. Overcome with emotion at seeing his family's faces when Dexter lifted his head. He smiled tearfully. "I know a man shouldn't cry unless he has good reason to, but these are tears of joy! I didn't think this day would ever come, but it did, mom. I'm so glad it did." Dexter says to his mother, happy to see her. Smiling and touching her face. "Mom, I can see the color of your eyes, hair, and skin." "Wait, what do you mean you can see us?" His mother asked him again, emotional and confused all at the same time. "Mom! You are wearing a yellow dress." Dexter states as they all let out a gasp. "Baby, you can see Gamma too?" "Gamma, you are wearing a lovely floral pink and green shawl, and your hair is a beautiful pepper and salt color, and aunt Peggy you're wear

On the third day, Taesha mustered up a little energy preparing to leave the room to go downstairs and eat breakfast. But instead, she stood there looking in the mirror. “What is it about me that makes men do this to me?She has beautiful skin and hair, a shapely physique, and is reasonably attractive. Not to mention she’s intelligent, hardworking, and capable of being a good wife and mother someday. But even with all her physical, mental, and emotional attributes, that didn't stop her ex-fiance from shattering her heart. Taesha’s whole world changed physically and emotionally. She dropped more than twenty pounds in a two-week time frame.It took several months for the depression that draped over her to disappear. She also had ended up cutting her long hair very short because the stress caused much damage to her otherwise healthy long mane. It took Taesha a year to put herself emotionally and physically back together and get back to living life. And yet she still has apprehensions abou

"Hello." She said, feeling strangely nervous."Can you be dressed and ready in 15 minutes?" "Yes, I will be ready."After hanging up the phone, Taesha still struggled with her feelings. She had never felt more confused. She wondered. Why would he make me feel these negative feelings right when I'm just starting to trust him?Taesha wanted to believe and trust Dexter as she did in Colorado. So she sat on the bed, trying to make her mind up about tonight, just in case he showed up.Dexter was going to show up. He pulled his black and gray sweater over his head. Then, slipping into his black straight-leg dress pants, he walked to his closet and slid his feet into his Charcoal colored dress shoes. Dexter put on his gray leather knee-length coat, tossing his red and black scarf around his neck.Taesha hurried and gathered her outfit from the closet. She picked out a black thigh-length leather circle skirt with a pair of sheer off-black dotted pantyhose.With a maroon tight cashmere short-
