"Why would I?" Sophie retorted. "If I wanted to escape, I would have done so last night. Why wait until now?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You're not running because you know you can't escape."

Odie raised an eyebrow. "Don't be so nervous. As long as you're aware of your situation, regardless of your reason for coming back, I'll accept it."

"I don't know what's so special about me that you're so infatuated. Could it be... Mr. Odie, are you interested in me?" Sophie's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, a sly look in her gaze.
