—Who did this to you?
Tunde looked up, and for the first time in 2 weeks, someone looked at him without disgust.
—I am only hungry.
Adaeze removed one loaf from her tray and placed it in his hand. Then she searched the small pocket of her faded skirt and brought out 100 naira.
—Buy water. The sun is too harsh today.
Tunde stared at the money.
—You do not have much.
—Then you understand why I know hunger is not a joke.
Before he could answer, a black Range Rover drove through the Balogun gate. Kelechi stepped out wearing Tunde’s suit, Tunde’s watch, Tunde’s confidence. The sisters screamed softly from inside the house.
