Sophia had drifted off for a bit in her room upstairs when she was roused by a knock at the door. Leaning back against her headboard, she called out, “Come in!”

Evelyn breezed in with a smile, “Hey Sophia, feeling any better?”

Sophia nodded, “Slept a little, definitely helped!”

As Evelyn walked further into the room, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, your balcony is huge! It’s way bigger than mine.”

Sophia remained silent.

Turning to her, Evelyn grinned, “Grandpa really spoils you.”

Sophia offered a faint smile, “Yeah, he’s good to all of us.”

Evelyn sat on the edge of the bed, making casual conversation, “I just saw your boyfriend earlier – he’s quite the looker. Classy guy. Is he from J City?”

“No, he’s just working here,” Sophia replied.
