Eighteen

SIBANE's POV
When I descended the stairs the house was empty with only Nkosana and I. After I talked to him about all my fears and insecurities I felt better. I hadn't realised just then how his job impacted us, especially since I always thought of it as an out of sight out of mind thing, but  I had recently  learnt that the idea of finding him dead in a ditch wasn't far fetched, it could actually happen but he assured me that the respect they had in the underworld had made them untouchable, especially since they were connected to many different people.

I ended up massaging Nkosana's arm and cooking for him, making sure he drank his painkillers and I spent the night at his place.

"Where are you going?" He asked the following morning during breakfast when he saw me getting ready to leave.
