Harried, flustered, juggling, terse. Behind her a few feet back, her little girl stumbles and falls; tiny, tights-clad knees connecting roughly with concrete. A gasp and the threat of tears; blue eyes fixed on an adult back. But before the tears can fall, before the wail can begin, a big brother with curly hair and a lopsided striped school tie. Scooping her up, setting her on her feet, dusting the dirt and leaves from her legs and bending to tie her laces. He steps back, admires his handiwork, takes her hand and they gallop after their mother. She missed it, this display. But I didn’t. I didn’t.
Stereo. 20-something aspiring bon vivant. London based. Exceptionally Nigerian. Partial to snark. My default setting is "wry". Jeans and blazers are my uniform. Landlady. Speed reader, tuneless singer, hoarder of words, drinker of Schloer; I am suspicious of most people, have zero tolerance for tomfoolery, have a vast DVD collection, worship at the altar of Al Green, own too many bottles of nail polish, have small eyes, small ears and giant hair and owe approximately 86% of my awesome to the Parents Typewriter.
