Just her.
Laughing.
He froze.
Who took this picture? he wondered.
It had to be either Adanna or Nnenna.
For a moment, he considered keeping it. Just one picture. Leaving it on his bedside table.
I mean… what harm could one picture do?
Then reality hit him hard.
The pictures of Adaugo were still on his phone.
And he knew better now.
One picture could do a lot of harm.
Part of the reason he had found it so hard to move on from Adaugo was simple, he never truly let go. He kept the memories. He held on to them. And it was impossible to move forward while gripping the past so tightly.
Realizing this, he brought out his phone. Without giving himself time to hesitate, he permanently deleted every picture of himself and Adaugo.
For crying out loud, his heart belonged to someone else now. What was the point of keeping them?
