The Little Things

"Tunde I am your mother and I know what is best for you."

Tunde kneaded his temple, "mummy are you insinuating that my wife is cheating on me?"

"It's not impossible..."

"That's enough mom, I won't have you disrespect my wife like that."

"Tunde are you walking out on me?"

"I will see you some other time mom."

Tunde left the house and went to join Sophia in the car.

"Soph I'm so sorry for my mom's behaviour this evening."

"It's okay it's no fault of yours, I'm just glad I have been able to apologise to her."

Tunde exhaled loudly as he pinched the bridge of his nose, Sophia knew he was exhausted, not just from work but from all that has been happening between his mother and her.

"T please don't worry yourself about the way your mother behaved or anything she said to me, because I took none of it to heart."

He stretched out his arms to her, "come here."
