Danny left the Church building still reeling from Bolu’s hug. He could still feel his big strong arms around him, squeezing him. Danny hadn’t been hugged like that before. It was…comforting. Strangely so. And what Bolu had said about God loving him was just…too much. He couldn’t take […]
Bolu was in his office, thinking about Ifeoma, his Secretary. Something was the matter with her. She had been behaving very oddly since they resumed work this week. She was not her usual professional and efficient self. She had somehow disorganised his filing cabinet, in the name of […]
Lola’s instinct was to scream “Yes! Yes! Oh, yes… I’d rather be married to you any day…” Having spent long enough discontented in marriage, and knowing all the things Danny could offer her that Bolu couldn’t and wouldn’t for a while to come (if ever), the idea of […]
“Lily, Lily!” Lola heard her mother’s call, and felt her shaking her awake from her sleep. “Lily, come. Come quick!” Omotola called her sleeping child. “Mama…” Lola stirred from her sleep, and rubbed her eyes. She couldn’t believe it. It was really her mother! She pinched herself, because […]
Lola’s flight from Lagos landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja by quarter past ten on the Tuesday morning. She had only hand luggage, so she didn’t have to wait for any baggage at the baggage claim. She sent Bolu a message to tell him that […]
Bimbo Adetayo stayed up to wait for her son to return from his work. Lola had prepared the spare room for her mother-in-law before going to bed at 10pm. She’d packed up the food and kept Bolu’s in the microwave. Bolu came home to find his mother snoring […]
Danny chose a table by the poolside, which had a lovely view of the lagoon. He pulled a seat out for Lola, and she sat down without making a fuss. She’d observed how he had been greeted and how they had been treated on entry into the hotel, […]
Bolu and Lola had a morning devotional session together the following day. Bolu had dropped the ball on this special time in the past, as he was often in a hurry to get to work. Today, Bolu spent more time on prayer for their unity, and for understanding and love […]
Bolu Adetayo sat at his office desk, pondering on the new case they had discussed at the morning meeting. It was right up his alley, and he knew that it was just the kind of case he needed to boost his confidence again. But when the Principal Partner, Mr […]
