Sophia's heart clenched at the message, but she ultimately didn't respond. Silencing her phone, she proceeded into the movie theater after her ticket was checked.

It was a comedy that had just premiered before the holidays. The entire theater erupted in laughter, and Sophia found herself laughing along, as if trying to purge all the pain and repression she'd felt these past days. Her laughter was so intense, tears sprang from her eyes.

Jason handed her a tissue, whispering, "It's okay to cry. No one can hear you over the laughter."

Turning to him, her eyes brimming with tears, Sophia shook her head. "No. I won't cry over someone who doesn't deserve my tears."

Jason gave a half-smile and turned his attention back to the movie.

By the time the two-hour film ended, night had fallen.

Sophia exhaled, seeing her breath in the cold air, and smiled. "Let's eat out. You've been with me all day; my treat!"

Jason nodded. "What are you in the mood for?"

Sporting a knitted beanie with a pom-pom, Sophia's face was lively and cute. "It's my treat, so you pick!"

"How about something warm? Let's have hotpot," Jason suggested.

Sophia couldn't help but laugh. "Always looking out for me, aren't you?"
