The room fell silent after Chisom and Daniella finished praying.
Daniella switched off the light and lay comfortably on her bed.
"Good night, Sis," she said with a smile.
"Good night," Chisom replied, hugging her pillow tightly.
As she closed her eyes, only one face filled her mind—David Isaac.
Before long, she drifted into a deep sleep.

She found herself standing outside the grand hotel where the award ceremony had just ended.
Luxury cars lined the entrance, while photographers, journalists, and excited fans crowded around the building. Security guards tried to control the large crowd as celebrities made their way outside.
Chisom looked around in amazement.
"Am I really here?" she whispered.

Her voice disappeared into the noise.
She refused to give up.
"Mr. David Isaac! Please don't go without seeing me!"

He's even more handsome in real life, she thought. Oh my gosh... look at those pink lips.
David Isaac smiled gently.
"Hi," he said.
For a moment, Chisom forgot every word she had wanted to say.
Finally, she found her voice.
"My... my name is Chisom Eze."
She nervously stretched out her hand, hoping he would shake it.
David Isaac looked at her with a calm smile as the crowd continued to cheer around them…
