Auntie’s Secret – Part 4
I dreamt her lips brushed mine, warm and slow. “You’ve grown into everything I imagined,” she whispered. My hands reached out—nothing there. I woke up breathless, sheets tangled, the scent of her perfume on my pillow. A single red lipstick rolled off the bed… still warm.
THE QUESTION SHE FEARED
She finally asked, “Do you still love me?” He put down his phone and looked at her.
“I love you,” he said quietly.
“But I don't know when we stopped being husband and wife and became two people simply sharing a house.” Her heart sank.
Then he added, “And I know exactly when it started…”
WHEN LOVE BECAME SILENCE
She felt her heart crack. “Then why did you let me suffer alone?” she whispered through tears.
He looked away, ashamed. “Because I thought providing for you was enough.
I didn't realize you were starving for my attention.” She reached for his hand, but he pulled away.
“There’s one more thing I never told you…”
"Love is the closest thing to madness".
This quote forms the premise of a story birthed by Thed Utuh and I.
SWALLOWTAIL is a book we wrote with pieces of our experiences interwoven into a tale of love, loss, darkness and some glimpses of light.

THE NIGHT SHE ASKED WHY
He wasn't cheating. No secret woman. No hidden messages.
Yet every night, she cried beside him. He was home, but never truly present.
One night, she finally asked, “Do you still love me?” He stared at her for a long moment…
then whispered, “There’s something you need to know.”
