Midnight Cumbia

<p><strong>Some people fall in love like feathers dancing in the breeze. Others plummet.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>I've known my husband's name since I was twelve years old: Chike Nagi Crown Prince of Ebele. On our wedding day as he led me in a dance throughout the untamed wilds I wondered Is this what falling in love feels like? Or was it just the savannah heat?</p><p>As a diplomat I am accustomed to navigating different social spheres but love is another beast altogether. I have been taught that love isn't as important as power. But when his hand touches mine I feel strong.</p><p><br></p><p>We couldn't have known how rapidly our whole world was about to change.</p>
