The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

The crowd cheered when the number for the third prize was announced, and someone quickly went on the stage to give a small speech of thanks. Then, the same thing happened with the second prize winner. Finally, it was time for the first prize.

“You can’t force this type of thing to happen,” Dylan said with a laugh. “Let’s just watch.”
