Shanti stoically sipped her drink and enquired whether Chioma was high. She is, in fact, quite high. I can tell by the fact that I saw her sneak-eat a piece of suya, which means in about forty minutes I’m going to have to dissuade her from reading people’s auras – something to which I don’t think a room full of African elders would take kindly. Chioma once off-handedly said to Aminah’s mother that she’s ‘such a Virgo’, which led to Auntie Rafiat looking at her as if she might genuinely be a witch.
