Lucky Girl

I noticed an older very stylish man in the restaurant this morning. White. Speaking fluent French. He was sitting with this beautiful young black women. She could easily of been a model.

I see him again later in the day- speaking Italian. Hmmmm....I'm thinking. I need to find out what is going on.

I ask the front desk who the man is and I'm told that he is in fact from Italy and that he just got married last week in Dakar. He is 52 years old. She is 16 years old. 'They' are going back to Italy today.

'Are you kidding me?' is my response.

'No, this is the truth. She is a very lucky girl. Her parents and family are very happy for her'.

Life just doesn't make sense some days.
