Zoey was sitting at the jikoni meza, jedwali in Daphne’s house. After her appointment with the dentist Zoey had decided to have a coffee chat with her sister.
“How are wewe doing?” she asked casual.
“I’m doing fine, Z” Daphne answered.
“Are wewe still taking your medication?” Zoey asked insisting. Daphne frowned, annoyed. “For goodness sake, Daphne, it’s for wewe own good and ours. The doctor didn’t prescribe wewe these pills for nothing”
Daphne stood up angry. “I know what they are for” she snapped. She sighed. “I feel good, Zoey. Emmanuel is really good company. He makes me feel good”
Zoey got up too. “He makes wewe feel good, because he reminds wewe of Martin” she alisema realistic. She walked towards Daphne and lay her hands on her shoulders. “But he’s not Martin. wewe have to treat him like your husband and let him go”
“I told him he’s free to go if he wants to” Daphne said, breathing fast. “But he doesn’t want to. He alisema he wants to stay with me”
Zoey shook her head. “I’m sorry to be the one to say this, but has it occurred to wewe that he’s just feeling sorry for you?”
“That doesn’t matter” Daphne said. “He’s staying with me, that’s what matters”
“But it’s not healthy” Zoey alisema sharp. “Do wewe even realize what wewe could’ve done? wewe almost ruined his life kwa going to the police last night”
“But-” Daphne said, but Zoey cut her off.
“You need to start thinking about other people, Daphne” Zoey said. “You feel good now, but how long will it last?” She took a deep breath. “In the clinic they can make sure wewe take your meds”
Daphne shook her head. “No, Zoey, please don’t take me to the clinic” she begged. She clawed her fingers in Zoey’s sleeves. “Please, don’t take me back there”
Zoey tapped Daphne’s arm reassuring. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t take wewe there” she promised. She took Daphne’s face in her hands. “I won’t take wewe there. Listen, why don’t wewe go take a nap? I’ll stay here to let Cas in. Gerard’s home, he can take care of Alex”
“Yeah, alright” Daphne alisema and she sniffed.
“Now, come one, away with those tears” Zoey alisema motherly. Daphne dried her eyes and smiled weak.
“I’m so lucky to have you” she sobbed.
“How are wewe doing?” she asked casual.
“I’m doing fine, Z” Daphne answered.

She, too, in fact, became bipolar, just like him. She struggled VERY MUCH She went to online Marafiki to find peace. But that was not always peaceful. Turmoil struck. But out of turmoil came a husband. A very kind, giving husband. And also out of turmoil, came you.

I adore Piper, but team Phoebe is where it's at. And I will upendo each and every one of you, always, even after my last breath is gone.
I upendo YOU
