Sophia put the container of cut fruits on the table and sat on the chair across from Jeremy. She then opened the container and said with a smile, “Okay, it is boring here, but you’re here! I want to meet new friends and challenge myself in different areas to make the most out of my life. I mean, isn’t that the point of living? Experiencing new stuff and stepping out of one’s comfort zone?”

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chilled watermelon with a fork and passed it to Jeremy.

Sophia rested her chin on her hand while she continued to eat the watermelon. “Mm… Take me for example. I’d bring you some cut fruits without you asking. Or call you to ask you when you’re coming home. Or cook your favorite food for dinner. Or…create little surprises for you. Or show you how much I love you frequently.”
