Akinale woke to the loud smashing of a fist, tightly wrapped, on her door. "What?!" She groaned in reply to the rude awakening.
"Get up! We're going into town!" The low rasp of her fathers voice seeped through every crack and bounded into her room. She threw back the sheets, pulling on pants and a sweater before pulling the door open and ducking into the bathroom for a quick brush of the teeth.
She stormed downstairs and dragged herself into the car. Her father walked out of the house and, wide-eyed and surprised, opened the drivers-side door, sat down, put the key in the ignition, and drove off down the winding driveway.
