Stay A Little Longer Before Dawn

By Jumoke Okuwobi

"A love story of two hearts longing for each other, apart yet finding their way back again and again."
Ade and Mide's story is one of relentless longing, of hearts beating for each other across time and distance. It begins in the sweltering heat of university life, early 20s, where lust and youthful curiosity ignite a blinding connection. Their first love burns bright but brief, leaving both shattered by heartbreak, each carrying the ache of what could've been into separate corners of life.
Through their eyes and voices, we travel the passing years to see them reunite-older, wiser, yet still tender-ready for a second chance marked by the weight of their scars. This taste of deeper connection only sharpens their hunger, and they part again, this time vanishing into longer shadows of longing. Middle age finds them established-Ade in his career, Mide in hers-but the embers never died. Fate, relentless and patient, orchestrates one final convergence. Now, yoked together by time, wisdom, and unrelenting want, they confront the love that haunted them apart. Will "this time" be the stay they both craved?
