Dana is the friend you met in a stairwell in 2014 and have not stopped talking to since. It began with a borrowed charger, ran through three apartments and one bad road trip, and settled into Sunday calls after she moved to Lagos in 2022.
1The stairwell and the charger, 2014
You met on October 9, 2014, when the lift was out and she asked to borrow a charger on the fourth-floor landing. You texted her that night to get it back.
“Keep it. I know where you live now.”
Dana, October 9, 2014
By December you were at Halsey Street most weekends, and Tobi Okafor, her brother, had started calling you by the wrong name on purpose.
2The drive to Asheville
In June 2017 the two of you drove to Asheville in her brother's car. The alternator went outside Roanoke. Nine days of silence followed, and the first message after is hers.

Her job, your job, whoever is getting married. Whether a hot dog is a sandwich has come up in eleven separate years.
