The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Both of them shopped in the mall for a while after their meal before Ian left upon noticing that time was almost up. While he offered to send Sophia home, she shook her head as she turned him down. “I have matters to settle, so I won’t be going home for now.”

He thus gave her a nod. “Alright, be careful while you are alone outside.”

A smile bloomed on her face. “Alright, I understand.” What could happen under broad daylight anyway? she thought. After Ian left, she followed suit to step out from the mall while raising her hand to the sun, which allowed the sun to shine on the ring on her finger.

She couldn’t help but wonder if it was really okay to have someone else give this to her. WIth her understanding of societal norms, she always assumed that it was only appropriate to present someone else with a ring when they were a couple.

However, she recalled that Mrs. Constance was the one who bought her that wedding ring, so it wasn’t technically gifted by John, which was a little underwhelming. Sophia heaved a sigh while trying to not overthink things before hailing a cab to head to the dessert shop, in which Robin was making a call when she arrived.

Upon noticing Sophia’s presence, Robin pointed to the phone she held while mouthing at Sophia to indicate that the call was from the landlord, who said he would be arriving shortly. Sophia quickly backed out of the shop to give Zack a call, who as promised, told her he would go to her right away.

Relief washed over her upon hearing his words. “I feel more reassured by your presence.”

Zack told her to remain calm, and that he would arrive shortly, so she could leave everything up to him. The call thus ended, while Sophia walked into the shop to sit down on a chair on the side.
