Temiloluwa was supposed to be on a flight — smooth, direct, and uneventful. Instead, Lagos flooded, traffic exploded, and she ended up in a crowded bus park filled with shouting conductors, puff-puff sellers, and hawkers selling everything under the sun. That’s where she saw him. Olaitan — crisp white shirt, calm presence, and eyes that seemed to see right through the chaos. By a twist of fate, he became her seatmate on the long road to Abuja. She’s chasing a dream job. He’s chasing an investor’s approval. But in the cramped space between Lagos noise and Abuja’s promise, they start sharing the fears they never say out loud. This wasn’t the journey she planned — but maybe it’s the one that could change everything.
