The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Zack no longer responded to Sophia’s text after that. Perhaps he’s occupied. She held onto her phone for a while longer before she eventually left it aside.

She was well-aware that she was only acting this way because she was bored out of her mind. After getting a divorce, she hadn’t gotten a chance to adapt to her new life, and she had to find some things to do for herself. But so what if I’m able to find something to do?

Even if I managed to turn the Earth upside down, it’s still a fact that we’re divorced. He’s now a man that no longer belongs to me, a man who won’t pay any more attention to me. With that thought, she then realized how pointless and boring it was to act the way she did.

Sophia downed the rest of the water in her glass before standing up. The singer on the tiny stage had just finished his song and happened to be getting off the stage at the same time. As she headed to the exit, the singer followed along with a guitar in one hand. The two of them came face to face with one another.

The singer flashed a smile at Sophia. “Hello.”

She nodded and said, “I loved your singing, although I couldn’t understand the words.”

The singer let out a laugh before he asked, “Are you alone?”

With a nod, she replied, “Yeah. Do you want to go for a walk?”

This must’ve come as a surprise to the singer as it was probably his first time meeting such a pretty yet forward woman. He beamed at her, his eyes forming a crescent shape as he replied, “Sure.”
