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!”

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.
