Starlet slowly opened her eyes and she saw her husband next to her on the bed. His face was facing her and he was fast asleep his lips slightly parted. They had landed in Harare the previous night and had been picked up by their guide who had arranged for them to sleep in a private home. They had washed off and went straight to bed. Twenty hours of a flight was taking its toll on their bodies.
Star marvelled at her husband's face. He looked so innocent. So free of the woes of life. And he was so handsome. She had a chance to examine him without shame. His beautiful lips, proud nose, dark eyebrows and eyes that had the most beautiful dark lashes she'd ever seen on a man. She loved how his dishevelled hark hair was falling against his face. He needed a haircut. She wanted to stare at him longer but she needed to go to the bathroom. She leaned in and lightly kissed his cheek and then gently got out of bed.
