Sophia looked down, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness, "I just feel a bit down, wanted to sit outside for a bit. Can you not be so serious?"

"What's up?" Jason smirked, teasing her, "Wasn't it a movie date with Robin? Why the long face?"

"The movie didn't happen. Something came up at his work, and he had to go back!" Sophia slumped in disappointment.

Jason frowned, "How busy can he possibly be? Ignores you when you're sick, stands you up on dates, and dashes back to the office late at night as if he's the president! Have you ever checked if he's actually working?"

Sophia looked at him, shocked.

Annoyed that Robin didn't cherish Sophia, that Sophia didn't stand up for herself, and most of all, at himself for losing control over his emotions.

Sophia reached out, gently holding onto his sleeve, "I know you're upset on my behalf, but I trust him. He's not like that, he's really giving his all."

Holding back his irritation, he said with a hint of bitterness, "If you're so understanding of him, why mope around?"
