Crossing borders had never been part of her story. It wasn't something she had planned, or even imagined. "Mme... rotlhe re tshwanetse go tswa mo lefatsheng la lona." Words that once felt distant now echoed within her. One acceptance letter changed everything. A quiet shift. A loud consequence. Gaborone lived in her in her voice, her memories, her sense of belonging. And yet, she left. KwaZulu-Natal became more than a place; it became a beginning she did not yet understand. Somewhere between leaving and becoming, she met him- a gentleman who would change everything. Copyright © 2025 by Shelly m. This book is a work of fiction.
