She was born in Tucson U.S.A. She graduated with first class honors in medicine from Harvard University. Although her parents were the owners of the top most business firm in the state, she never walked head high. At her internship in California, she met a lot of sick and needy people who positively impacted her life. As a young medical practitioner, her intentions to help the sick were evident. Diane loved what she did for a living.
He was born in the outskirts of Brooklyn taking loose change from his mother’s purse every evening. He schooled in Brooklyn High till ninth grade where his single mother was capable of paying fees. That was where his education came to a standstill and he decided to take another course in life. However, this course was not so befitting of his age. Trey started doing drugs at a very early age.
In the midst of all the chaos and drama about the differences between the black and white people, Trey and his mother found those looking for jobs in offices that could say were “white suited jobs”. They had no say in other people’s opinion or judgment about their skin color but they kept on looking for what they urgently needed at the moment. Trey on one hand had to look for a technical skill which needed training and had to be paid for. His mother on the other hand had bills to debts to settle, bills to pay and her only son to feed but the worst came to the worst once Trey developed Liver Cirrhosis out of his alcohol addiction.
Trey was admitted in hospital and lay in the ward worried sick of his future. Now approaching his late twenties, he ought to be earning a living but he was lying in a hospital bed with worries on how to pay his hospital bill. His mother was right by his side. Whether rich or poor, sick or in good health. They frequently held hands to whisper a short prayer to God. Trey was not much of a holy Joe himself; his mother did not mind praying…
“We come to you our Father with honor and admiration; we ask that you forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us. Father, hhhheall….. Heal my son in Jesus name. Llllisten unto my prayer and we ask all this in Christ’s name we pray, Amen.”
Just after she uttered her prayer, a beautiful kind lady walked into their ward smiling at Trey. His mother couldn’t stop asking her the condition of her son; Trey could not take his eyes off her. To him, he definitely knew it was love at first sight. The doctor took Treys temperature and did some tests in their presence as she gave them hope of Treys recovery if he would stop alcohol and just before she left, she introduced herself as Doctor Diane.

The little red button on his finger had immediate effect since every time he pressed it; the doctor came to check up on him. Doctor Diane in specific. Although Trey spent a couple of weeks in hospital, he played his cards right and the doctor became fond of the patient. Even at odd times the doctor would come at odd times to check up on Trey or just to have a slow chat with him. But what did Diane really see in Trey?
Trey had a successful operation a week later and was discharged from the hospital a fortnight after the operation. God had answered their prayers since all his hospital bills had been settled by someone who did not want to be known. Diane, now off her hospital duty often came to see Trey in his home to keep him company as he recovered. Honestly, Trey needed rehabilitation from the addiction he had and Diane offered to take Trey for the exercise to build his morale.

He was so excited. He borrowed a three piece suit from his old uncle Charlie, he got a loan from his mother to cater for dinner and the taxi and he was set and ready to go. They got close while in the taxi and held hands till they arrived at the expensive five star restaurant. The gentleman that he was, he held open the door for beautiful Diane who was in six inch stilettos and a long black silky dress. Everybody gazed at her as she walked in the restaurant.
Their table was set right at the corner where the view of the entertainment was fantastic. Diane was amazed by the service offered by the kind waiters but Trey was busy estimating his bill at the end of his meal, sweat trickling down his face. Aside from that, they talked endlessly about themselves to each other. Diane told Trey how her family was one of the richest families in the state. Trey took it as it came to him and assumed that it was normal. The night was still young once Trey had settled the bill and they left the restaurant. Diane opted for a horse ride in the moonlight but Trey cried inwardly at what that would cost. Luckily, Diane knew a friend of hers who gave them a ride free of charge.
Trey talked about how he would take care of Diane even though he did not make a living, how he fell in love with her since the first time he saw her and how he promised to make her the happiest woman alive. Diane gazed into his eyes and realized Trey was not any ordinary promise maker. She saw something in Trey she could not quite put her finger on and she liked it. She offered Trey to come to her parent’s house the next day for dinner and he was more than happy to go.
The seven bedroom mansion was hard to miss in the neighborhood. Welcomed with a vast of warm introductions Trey realized Diane’s home just another white home, full of proud racists. He sat at the dinner table ready to have dinner together with Diane’s family but was crushed at what her parents spoke of his skin color type of people. How they were thieves, illiterate, dirty, violent and insolent people.
