The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

There was a frown on John’s face when he responded, “No, I’m not.”

Meanwhile, Zack had in hand some documents that needed to be signed by John, then said, “Yeah, from what I recall, you don’t have plans to travel today.”

John lifted his head slowly to look at Zack.
