The text from Jeremy came when I had just boarded the matatu heading home. I looked around the matatu and stepped out careful not to meet the tout’s eye.  I was in no mood to explain my actions to him.

I dialled Jeremy’s number immediately my feet hit the pavement. He answered after a prolonged mix of skiza tunes with that lady telling me to dial one to copy the tune.

“You forgot!”he said.

“Yes, I did but I am on my way now. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“Take your time I will wait.”

“Thanks. See you then.”
