CHAPTER 6: THE PROMISE.

—
Tayo had always had a soft spot for Idara ever since they met in school. Right from the very first day his sister introduced him to her, he knew she was so different from the other regular girls he'd seen in the Faculty of Social Sciences. To him, Idara was one of a kind: beautiful, rare, smart, lively, meek, simple and sweet. And he'd often tried to express his feelings for her through special gifts and lengthy phone calls, but sadly, she never read between the lines.
The closest to a green light that Tayo had ever gotten from Idara were the usual friendly smiles and the funny pet names. Sometimes, he wondered if his age was what scared her away from him. He was just twenty-eight years old, and she was twenty-five. There wasn't too much gap between them, after all.

All of Candice's roommates started hailing her like their lives depended on it, all because of the tantalizing goodies which she brought back home.“Welcome home, Sisi Eko. We all thought that you wouldn't return today.” Alice teased as she snatched one of the bags from Candice's arm for herself. “I trust you had fun with that rich yellow pawpaw guy, right?”“You bet!” Candice admitted dreamily, closing her eyes with her head inclined. “In fact, fun is a complete understa
