THIRTY THREE

Recap

I'm the one who sent you that email. Hey, I'm Danielle, Sapphire's little girl. I tell her, and her look changes from one of disbelief to one of approval.

When asked, "And who is the man with you?" Her inquiry is directed towards Christian.

Christian announces, "I'm her partner."

The question, "Life Partner?" She is simply curious and asks. This lady is driving me crazy.

"Yes." Christian and I both react simultaneously.

We'd like to ask if we can have a seat.

It's my apologies. Yes."

How come you set up my mum with Bayo? "How did he do this to her? When I ask, she gives a hesitant chuckle.

Nothing to chat about? Geez. I've known Bayo all my life. To me, he was a brother figure. My undergraduate romance with Sapphire was supposed to lead to a meeting with my brother, but that never happened.

A question: "What do you mean?"

In other words, "Bayo did it."
