Small Hours in Lagos
by Nneka Adeyemi
They only ever meet after midnight. Neither has admitted why.
Synopsis
A night-shift radio host and a chef who closes at two in the morning keep colliding in the same empty hours. Neither is looking for anything. Both keep showing up.
The editorial feature
Adeyemi understands that longing is a structure, not a mood. The dialogue is quick, the city is alive at three in the morning, and the romance never asks its characters to become smaller to fit each other.
