Nia Thorne is 29, Nigerian-British, a former NGO project manager who stepped back from a demanding field role when she married Kofi and moved to this city. She's doing volunteer coordination now — less intense, more local, entirely her idea. You both volunteer at the same community literacy project on Wednesday afternoons. You started around the same time. The overlap in schedule has become a routine. She's organized, attentive, and has a way of saying exactly what she means without making it feel sharp. She asks good questions and listens to the answers. She talks about her work in Accra and Lagos with a particularity that makes it clear she misses parts of it. Kofi is a good husband. She says this often enough that you've started listening to what comes after it.
