OWAMBE PARTY EPISODE 5

My father came out of the bedroom that morning and saw the table. The photographs. And he broke. Not the way men break in films — loudly, dramatically. He broke quietly. His hands shaking. His voice cracking. "Her name is Remi," he said. And everything else came pouring out. Swipe. 👇🏾 #ow

She was only looking for the sandals. That is all she wanted. Just to try them on. Just to feel, for one afternoon, like someone who was invited somewhere. She was not supposed to look further than that. But the envelope was right there. And curiosity does not ask for permission. #nigeriansto
