#118 “Everyone’s Acting Weird, huh?

Sophia’s fingers practically flew as she shoved clothes into her suitcase, fueled by the anticipation of escaping town and leaving the Alexander drama behind. Without finishing her morning coffee, she hailed a taxi to the airport, grabbed her suitcase, and locked the door to her apartment.

In the taxi, she quickly tapped out a message to Evelyn, “I’m on my way to the airport. I know it’s earlier than we agreed, but I couldn’t wait.”

Evelyn’s response came swiftly, “I’m already walking in the duty-free shops. You’re not the only one impatient.”

Sophia chuckled and stashed her phone back in her bag, relishing the excitement of traveling with her friend after what felt like ages.

Both of their lives were very busy and they rarely saw each other, and that was why Sophia was so grateful for this opportunity to spend time together again.

At the airport, after breezing through security, Sophia headed to the cosmetics store, a hunch telling her she’d find Evelyn there. Sure enough, Evelyn was seated in front of a perfume stand, surrounded by testers, her eyes lighting up with each new scent.

“I knew you couldn’t be anywhere else, “Sophia remarked as she approached.

Evelyn giggled, hugging her friend tightly. Sophia couldn’t help but inhale a mixture of scents as Evelyn moved in for the embrace. “Girl, you won’t believe how stressful the last few days have been,” Evelyn confessed.

“Lord, I think you should stop for now. Buy one, and let’s go have a coffee,” Sophia suggested, laughing.

“Coffee?” Evelyn made a face. “Honey, we’re going to Vegas. We’ll have Mimosa.”
