The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

After a pause, Sophia looked up at Dylan. “The construction has officially started but I’m not sure how long it will take for the renovations to be completed. I bet it won’t take long since the shop isn’t huge.”

Dylan rested his hands on the table. “What will you sell? Have you given it a thought?”

The question sparked Sophia’s enthusiasm and she nodded. “I’ve done research on the internet and saw plenty of desserts. I think that it’ll work once Robin and I test it out. Honestly, I can actually pick up the rest when I’m in the kitchen.”

Dylan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Really?”

Sophia answered seriously, “It’s true! Oh right, you haven’t tried my cooking. Actually, I think they’re quite delicious, if I may say so myself. Just ask John if you don’t believe me.” She then turned to look at John and ask, “Am I right?”
