Dear Hope, In a thousand ways, I have let you down In a thousand ways, I have concurred with my demons. In a thousand ways, I have denied you your identity. Although you are a product of the worst moments of my life, I have no one but myself to blame.

"Rukky enters the dining room, her expression filled with purpose."
ENIOLA: (Excitedly getting up from her seat) Any update?
RUKKY: Yes, dear.
ENIIOLA: Then what are we waiting for? Please book an appointment with them today! (She starts to leave the room)
RUKKY: Where are you going, Eniola?
ENIOLA: To the bathroom. I can't let her see me like this.
RUKKY: Take it easy, Eniola. They want to meet on their terms.
ENIOLA: What does that mean?
RUKKY: They will call when they are ready to meet you.
ENIOLA: Why are they doing this to me, Rukky? I'm not asking for much, I just want to meet my daughter.
"Ayo enters the dining room, his presence commanding attention."
Mr A BALOGUN: Which daughter?
RUKKY: Sir, you're back? We didn't realize you had come in.
Mr A BALOGUN: Why would you notice I'm home when you spend half your day gossiping or engaging in meaningless conversations?
ENIOLA: (She smiles at Ayo) Welcome, Daddy. I assume you're here for your anniversary.
Mr A BALOGUN: Yes, my dear. You know your mother hasn't forgiven me for what happened last year. So I promised myself I wouldn't miss today for anything in the world.
RUKKY: Aww, God, when will it be my turn? I hope to fall in love this year. Oh.
Mr A BALOGUN: If I were both of you, I would put myself out there for marriage. (He turns to Eniola) Especially you, Eniola. Unless you want your grandfather to choose a groom for you.
