"Yeah, and I thought it'd be great for you two to connect before you got here." He sounds so enthusiastic, like this is a business meeting I've been dying to take.

Sofia looks immaculate, while I sit here in bed, in a T-shirt that's probably seen better days, my mess. My heart sinks a little as I catch sight of myself.
