Sophia had been feeling better these past few days and had already returned to work at the studio.

"Mr. Gilder!" Sophia beamed, her tone light and cheerful, "I won't be coming home for dinner tonight. I tried calling Grandpa Quintin but he didn't pick up. He's probably out and about with Grandpa Jarvis. Could you let him know for me?"
