A wave of nausea hit him. He had found a YouTube playlist on his partner's laptop: "Learn Swahili." It was like a slap in the face. His partner, Kofi, had never mentioned anything. A bitter taste filled his mouth.

He marched into the living room, where Kofi was reading. “Kofi, what is this?” he demanded, his voice tight.

Kofi looked up, startled. “What? What do you mean?”

He pointed at the laptop. “This. This playlist. This secret. Are you making a mockery of me?” The words burned in his throat.

Kofi’s face flushed red. He stammered, “I… I just wanted to…”

“Wanted to what? Pretend you understand? Pretend you’re one of us? Get the hell out of here!” He turned away, his fists clenched, feeling the familiar burn of fury in his gut.
