Chapter 4

Sophia chuckled awkwardly, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, just happened to walk by. I’m really sorry for causing such a hassle for you and your folks This whole marriage was a comedy of errors, anyway.

“No need,” Sophia declined with a smile, “It really wasn’t anything to do with me anyway.”

Brandon didn’t respond, just watched her quietly from a short distance, his gaze as deep and still as a dark, bottomless pool
