“Hello.”

“Hi. Are you home?” his voice soothed her.

“Yes,” she walked towards the bed.

“You sound as if it is a bad thing.”

She kicked off her shoes, lay on her tummy and sighed heavily.

“Guess what?” his excited tone made her smile.

“Guess.”

“My mind is in hibernating mode.”

“I will be in Lagos on Friday.”

“A friend of mine is getting married on Saturday.”

The thought of meeting him face to face fillf her with joy and fear.

“I will travel back to Abuja on Monday morning.”

What if he doesn’t like what he sees? Even though they had communicated via webcam several times, it wasn’t the same as a one on one, eye to eye situation.

“I am really looking forward to seeing you.”

“Hey! You don’t sound… don’t you want to see me?”
She sat up, “Of course I do!”
“Hope you are ready to entertain me.”
“You and who?”
He started to laugh.
