It was nearly 7pm when she heard the knock on her door. Clara got up to open it. Kingsley was standing in the doorway, looking a little unsure and unstable.

"Where is Amaka? I want to see her."
"What do you mean where is Amaka? She is at her parents'. That's where she will be preparing for the wedding. She is not here tonight. You knew that."
