The diary

(JARED'S POV)

At the close of work, I packed up, ready to leave. I was reluctant to go home at first, but then, I had to if I didn't want Sofia to create another scene. And besides, I couldn't keep running away from my own house. On arriving home, Sofia welcomed me with a hug. I recoiled at her touch, I've been doing that lately. It amazed me how she could act normal after the stunt she pulled at my office earlier. "Hey, how was your day?" She asked, her voice dripping with fake sweetness that I could decipher.

"I'm fine, Mom. Just got back from work."

"Alright. I have some good news for you."

"What is it?" I inquired, interested.

"Sofia's parents are returning to the country in two days."

I paused, my hand on my tie loosening. "Really? Is her father okay now?"

"Yes, hopefully. He thinks he's okay now, and the doctors think so too, so they'll be back from India in two days."
