#195 “He Wants to Propose to Evelyn.”

As Sophia stirred from her slumber, she reached out for Alexander, expecting to feel his warmth beside her, but her hand met only empty sheets. Confusion clouded her mind as she glanced around the room, searching for any sign of him. The absence of his presence only fueled her suspicions, leaving her with a gnawing sense of unease.

Frowning, Sophia reached for her phone, hoping to find a message from Alexander explaining his sudden departure. Yet, to her dismay, there were no notifications from him. Her mind raced with questions, wondering where he could have gone and why he hadn’t told her.

Just as her frustration began to mount, a message from her best friend, Evelyn, lit up her screen. A small smile tugged at Sophia’s lips as she read the invitation to meet for coffee. Maybe spending time with Evelyn would help take her mind off her worries.

Sophia quickly got dressed and made her way to their favorite café, where Evelyn was already waiting for her, a steaming cup of coffee in hand. As Sophia approached, she couldn’t help but notice the furrow of concern on Evelyn’s brow.
