I have never been one to do anything on a whim. I plan, calculate, overthink and mentally rehearse almost every move before I make it. But life becomes a little less predictable when your friends are the complete opposite.

On Saturday night, their unpredictability won.

After spending the entire day glued to our phones, endlessly scrolling through social media and pretending we were resting, someone suddenly suggested we go out for dinner. At 9 p.m.

On a normal day, I would have said no. Lagos traffic, late-night stress, the possibility of disappointment, all valid reasons to stay home. But there is a saying that some of the best moments in life are unplanned, and maybe that was enough reason to take the chance.

That chance led us to Red Skillet in Magodo GRA.
