Office Gossip

Realizing Nurse Courage didn't want to talk about her pain, Nnenna decided to let it slide, for now. But before leaving, she leaned in and whispered softly, her voice laced with care, "Mommy Courage, if someone truly loves you, they wouldn't shout at you or make you cry like this."

The words hung in the air as Nurse Courage blinked at her, startled. Her lips parted as if to respond, but no words came out. Instead, a shadow of doubt flickered in her eyes, and Nnenna knew she had planted another seed.

Nnenna paused mid step and decided to press on. She turned to Nurse Courage and said with a sincere tone, "Mommy Courage, your fiancé scares me. He doesn't seem to respect you. And like I said before, I don't think that's how someone who truly loves you should behave. Please, be careful."
