He never imagined that when he left Kansas City a week ago that he would return with a wife. Truth be told, he was tired of being alone, tired of going home to an empty place. He needed a woman in his life and in his bed.
The moment he saw her, he knew that she was the one. It was during his first business trip to Nairobi when he met her. They immediately connected and arranged to see each other whenever he visited Nairobi.
This last time, he proposed and she accepted. They married hours before flying to Kansas.

There are worse ways to find a partner for life, they go into it with open eyes and hopefully open hearts.

It all sounds very clinical. I hope there’s room for some romance. Still, not everyone needs the same things in life.

I guess it depends on the person. One person might prefer to get married rather than be alone while another would rather be alone than get married.

If he hadn’t known she was the right one, I reckon he would have continued searching. Luckily she felt the same!
