I heard those words and my stomach did several somersaults. But not until after I had jumped up in sheer excitement did I say “yes.” At that moment, it was as if saying “yes” to Wole turned on the floodgates of my heart because I couldn’t stop the tears from falling. This time they were tears of joy.
Wole placed the ring on my finger. I was still staring at it when he pulled me up and embraced me. I hugged him back and from outside, I heard the sound of drumming, clapping and cheering, as if it was for us.
