Into the Wilderness Without You

The day Ferdinand proposed, he said he'd take me to the Masai Mara before the wedding to watch the migration.

"Come on, the more the merrier." I gripped my boarding pass and said nothing. The day we reached the riverbank, the guide said the best viewing spot only had room for one person.
