The Visit

Of going to America with Eze after university, where he would find a job and spend all his free time writing poems. His own father might not talk about it as often as Eze’s did, but it was understood, of course, that marriage was the ultimate prize for a man. It was true that Eze had changed: he now wore glasses and was bigger than Obinna remembered, a paunch sloping out just above his beltline. Obinna and Eze were in a corner, watching the dance floor, and Amara walked up to them, a pretty and self-possessed woman, to ask Obinna to dance.
