It was time for her to go home. Not only had she been there for three and half months and was fully healed, but she needed the freedom to run around outside and expend some energy. Besides that, three-and-a-half year old Jacqueline had yet to master the art of using the toilet. It was time for her to go home. But, two things were stopping her from leaving- lack of family at the clinic, and her torrid, scandalous love affair with Edlin, a man not only one year her junior, but also a good four kilos her lesser.
He was an easy mark, Edlin was. When he first came to the clinic he was dehydrated and malnourished, and his masculine defenses were no match for the feminine wiles of the sultry Jackie. He had spent time at the clinic before, and was just back from a stint in the pediatric ward at the hospital in Les Cayes, fighting off kwashiorkor and a host of other maladies. Like Jackie, Edlin had been left at the clinic without his family; and like two other star-crossed lovers at odds with their families, their attraction was immediate and intense.

Edlin, vulnerable, lonely, and with a soft heart, was an easy mark

Jackie- Oh how she knew how to get her man…

Blessed are the poor in the sprit, for theirs is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
