The Enchanting Violinist
Nairobi’s water company had a special way of cutting the citizens down to the same size. Granted those with more money than she did solved their water problems with one call to a water broker. One full water truck about now would solve all her problems.

All the men she met had commitment phobia.
Nyambura laughed then.
