“But everything makes it impossible to try again, doesn’t it?”

She gave his hand a faint squeeze. “I think everything has been lumped into being bad when some of it was really quite good.”

“Meaning?” Bach didn’t care how hopeful her words made him.

“I focused so much on the negative when it was maybe the positive that made me afraid to try again.”

“Sy? I...don’t understand.”

She regarded their clasped hands. “I was so over the moon happy when I found out about the baby, I-I couldn’t focus on work. I could only think about how much I wanted to meet our child and raise it with you. I knew you’d be such a wonderful father and I daydreamed all the time about how amazing it would be.”

She inhaled deeply, exhaled on a shudder, “Losing the baby will always be in that category, but believing you’d be a wonderful father-knowing you’re a wonderful man...that’s in a category all its own and it’s beautiful.”

He winced. “I didn’t think I’d ever be considered beautiful.”

Saiida surveyed the formidable bone structure and coveted flawless skin comprising the to-die-for face. “I highly doubt that,” she said.

“So what does this mean for us?” he asked her.

“It means, I don’t want to keep dwelling on everything bad.”

“But you need more to go on than my beautiful man status.”

“Kind of,” she hugged herself and smiled. “Any ideas on how we can make that happen?”

Bach pretended to stretch and rested an arm along the back of Saiida’s side of the sofa. “I did come in here to ask you to have lunch with me. Maybe we can discuss it while we eat?”

Her smile brightened. “I’d like that.”

Bach stood, offering his arm. Saiida stood, accepted, and together they left the room.

“This is not what we agreed to, Deke.”

“I disagree. You want revenge, same as me. The elders said their prayers and held their vigils for Suleja long ago. They said goodbye to her and forgot all about making those who took her away from us, pay.”

Deka Obu groaned, hiding her face in her hands before looking back at her brother. “Making them pay, means getting our hands on the Okonkwo serum. We agreed to use Kam Okonkwo’s importance to it as our leverage to obtain it. She was never supposed to be killed for it. This is about protecting women’s lives, not taking them.”

Deke Obu aka Julien Dwele, eyed his sister guardedly. “This is about the serum-only the serum. It’s not about giving the women of our tribe free reign to reproduce half-breed offspring.”

Deka regarded her brother levelly. “Did you ever care about why I joined you in this crusade? Were Suleja’s fate and the fate of all the other girls just something you pretended to be interested in so I’d join you and follow your lead with no questions asked?” She threw up her hand. “Don’t bother answering, I already know the truth of it.”

Now, Dwele-Obu regarded his sibling with fresh insight. “What have you done?” he asked.
