The ride back from the studio felt strangely quiet compared to the noise and excitement they had left behind.
The SUV moved smoothly through the Lagos night traffic while streetlights passed across the windows in long streaks of yellow light. Inside the car, the engine hummed softly and the faint glow of phones illuminated the interior, but nobody spoke for the first few minutes.
Shina sat in the seat behind Dayo with the camera still resting in his hands. The strap was wrapped around his wrist like he was afraid it might disappear if he let go. His eyes kept moving between the camera screen and the window as if he was trying to convince himself that what had happened earlier was not a dream.
Finally he exhaled and leaned forward slightly.
"Bro… I no even know wetin to think."
"Like I don't understand how everything move so fast."
Shina spoke as he didnt even know how he was feeling inside.
Sharon glanced back at him with a small smile.
"Your brain hasn't settle yet abi ?."
