The property titles were no accident. Sophie had slipped them into Charlie's backpack on purpose.

Charlie was good-looking and quiet, and Sophie had been watching him for a while, hoping to be his friend. But Charlie rarely talked, and Sophie didn't know how to approach him.

Her uncle had told her, "What's so great about being friends? Just get married!"

So, Sophie decided to take matters into her own hands. She snuck her family's property titles to school, convinced this would seal the deal.
