Damilola: It may seem like I’m falling in love, so I want to check with you, Toyosi, if you have anything going on with the guy, just to be safe.
Toyosi: Nooo.
Damilola: If you do, please let me know. I can always back off and put my mind off it. That’s why I’m asking. But your reason isn’t convincing enough, and that’s why I keep asking.

Toyosi: From my end, it’s just…
