Haruna:

I still love you and will be your BFF, but you need to quit the deceit
and cut to the chase. I don't care if you like to fly to Kullikoro and
Iceland to come back to Georgia then answer my questions, be my guest.
If you want to re-write the English dictionary, you're on your own on
that one. However, I will continue to call you up on your deceit as
long as I deem it necessary to do so Ins'Allah.

-Laye
