*THE GIRL WITH RUMORS* 3 boys. 1 mango tree. 1 girlfriend. That was the plan. Anesu came home to help in the fields. To eat mangoes. To avoid drama. Then he looked up from a mango... and got stung by bees. Because of a girl. 5 days later she's back. Tinotenda. The girl from 3 years ago. The one with the quiet smile. Now the village has 100 things to say about her. "Too many boys." "Moves too fast." "Don't go near her." But at the borehole she was just Tinotenda. Laughing. Going red when he mentioned his mom. Golden wants to run investigations. Munya wants to warn him. Anesu? Anesu just wants to know the truth before the rumors decide for him. In a small village, everyone knows your business. But nobody knows her. And Anesu is about to find out if he should listen to the village... or to the feeling in his gut. Even if that feeling might just be 7 mangoes.
