Interviewee: @adaezeabara Locale: Café del Luna
Ejike was nervous. Ever since his father mentioned that he had other siblings, he wanted to meet them. He signed up for 23&Me, Ancestry, and made sure his profiles were public and up to date. When a sibling reached out, however, he was hesitant. What if it wasn't what he expected? What if he wasn't what they expected? There were so many ways the meeting could go: they could hate each other, they could like each other, they could have had completely different lives, they could have had similar lives. It was all up in the air and ambiguity wasn't on the list of things he liked.
He sat at the table, a small bouquet of flowers on the table setting across from him. They agreed to meet at Café del Luna, and now that he was there the nerves were setting in. Which was odd for him, since he made his career on meeting people for the first time. Then again, the other was rarely related to him. Maybe being 15 minutes early was a bad idea.
