STROKE Of HEARTS

Secret letter

For a brief moment, she is loved by efeoluwa. It takes her to thinking again, why is life the way it is? So unfair to many, why do certain people get to live their Life the way they want and others don't?. Why did she end up in this part of the world. Where everyone has to be told how to live their life. Gay relationships are considered acceptable in the West. On a second thought, that's a ray of hope she says in her thoughts. Once she's able to get efeoluwa to feel the same way she feels. Then they'll both work towards relocating to the part of the world they can live their lives. They have the freedom to express their love for each other without being discriminated against. Is Efeoluwa romantically inclined towards her? How do I get to know what efeoluwa think about gay relationship. How do I get to know Without looking suspicious or scaring her away from me. I can't afford to lose her because I love her so much.
