The back? He had hoped she had sit beside him. It was a little disappointing, but he was not going to question her choice. If that's where she felt more comfortable, then so be it.
He reached for the gear again.

"Brother Somto! How could you forget me?" Ava pouted, folding her arms like a scolded child. "I told you I would go with you guys, and you completely forgot! You didn't even wait for me to get ready."
She looked genuinely aggrieved, lips pushed out and eyes narrowed in playful accusation.
Somto exhaled silently.

Nnenna, watching quietly from the back, felt the tension rise just a little. Ava had a way of drawing attention, and inserting herself where she wasn't always invited.
