The young professor had always been a seeker, though he would never admit it. At 6’1”, conventionally attractive, Swiss-born with a PhD earned in the United States, and now working at The University of Cambridge, he carried the veneer of a man who had it all. But beneath his achievements lay a restless spirit, drawn to the unconventional, the exploratory, the boundaryless. It was during a solo trip to Mexico that he first met her - the Yoruba high priestess. Their initial connection happened in the waters of Mexico, a chance meeting that felt otherworldly. They swam together, their limbs tangling as though they had known each other for lifetimes. From that moment, they became inseparable, at least for the remainder of his trip.
