Sophia sat across from Alex on a cozy sofa in the café, her fingers nervously entwined in her lap.

"Alex," she began softly. "I want to apologize for everything I've done to you."

Alex looked at her with gentle curiosity. "Why?"

She took a deep breath. "I've realized that so much of my pain comes from clinging to how I think things should be, instead of accepting what they are. I'regret not listening to my grandfather."

He offered a reassuring smile. "It's okay."

Gathering her courage, she confessed, "I... I don't have our signed divorce papers."

"What do you mean?"

She bit her lip, hesitating before continuing.

"When I was planning to marry Chris, he said he'd handle the divorce papers and

the marriage certificate. I thought after everything that happened, he wouldn't send them. But I never received any confirmation."

Alex remained silent.

"That means we're still husband and wife," Sophia whispered, her cheeks flushing.

He leaned forward slightly. "And if he already sent them?"

She swallowed hard, her eyes meeting his. "Then... would you consider marrying me again?"

"You sound a bit desperate."

She looked away, fiddling with her napkin. "Maybe I am. They're trying to force me into another marriage if we're divorced. And... Grandpa Abraham thinks highly of you. I don't want to disappoint him."

Alex tapped his fingers gently on the table. "But what about you? What do you want?"

She looked back at him, confusion flickering in her eyes. "What do you mean?" "Do you like me?" Alex asked

Her eyes widened, emotions swirling as she searched for an answer. "I... I don't know..."
