The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia let out a chuckle before remarking, “I was searching for Isabelle a while ago. She’s also a disciplined young lady, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere too, so perhaps…” Despite not finishing her sentence, her smile seemed to indicate that John and Isabelle might’ve snuck away together.
