Davido stood by the wide glass window of his sitting room with his phone pressed to his ear, one hand tucked into the pocket of his joggers as he stared out at the city lights below. The room around him was quiet, but not empty. Two people from his circle were still there with him, seated across the lounge area with drinks untouched on the table between them.

Together.
Davido exhaled once through his nose, then finally placed the call.
The line rang only a short moment before Dayo answered.
"Yeah?"
