wewe put your head in your hands and breathe deeply. How where wewe going to tell him? wewe had gotten the phone call today.

wewe were actually close to Soda. Danny played with Grace and Logan all the time. wewe couldn’t even begin to imagine how they felt.

wewe hear the front door open. Darry was nyumbani now. wewe take another deep breath, and sit at the jikoni table.

Just breathe.

He walks into the kitchen. “Hey babe, what’s wrong?” He asks, setting down his wallet and keys.

wewe swallow. “I got a call.” Is all wewe manage to say.

“About?” He asks, eyebrows raised.

“Soda’s dead.” wewe blurt out.

The look on Darry’s face would haunt your memory for the rest of your life.

He just sat down on the floor in pure shock, mouth open, eyes wide.
