With a soft laugh, Ackee bid me farewell, leaving me to ponder the complexities of my relationships and the unexpected twists and turns that life had thrown my way.
But amidst it all, one thing remained certain: I was grateful for the unwavering support of those who cared for me, no matter how unexpected their gestures of kindness may have been.
As I ended the call with Kini, a sense of relief washed over me as I reassured my friend of my well-being.
But my moment of peace was shattered as I caught sight of Benjamin standing before me, his presence casting a shadow over my already troubled thoughts.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Benjamin," I called out, my voice tinged with a mixture of surprise and apprehension.
"What brings you here?"
His smirk sent a shiver down my spine as he spoke, his words laced with sarcasm and disdain.
"Didn't Karalana satisfy you enough that you think I'm here for you, Erica?" he sneered.
