Chapter 129

Sophia pursed her lips slightly, choosing not to speak.

After a while, Brandon heard a soft apology from her. “Sorry.”

He chuckled, letting the sentence trail off.

Sophia didn’t pick up the conversation, her hand fidgeting with the bedsheet, hesitating and conflicted, without looking at Brandon.

“I’m easy,” Sophia replied softly, hesitating again as she looked at him, “Or you can go do your thing first. I’m feeling a lot better now. I can manage on my own.”

She then added, “Really, thank you for today.”
