The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

During lunch, John and Sophia ate in silence. He was a courteous guest who cleaned his plate, even finishing the sauce. When he placed his fork down, he burped and said in satisfaction, “I haven’t had such a huge meal in a long time.”

Sophia smiled. “Why? Do the Constances starve you?”

She stood up to clear the table, but he took the initiative to help before she could start. “I’ll do it.”

John took the plates and utensils, placing them into the dishwasher. Then, he turned around to take a look. Sophia had moved to the living room and taken a seat on the sofa with her legs crossed, still texting away on her phone.

Sophia chuckled, but her gaze remained fixed on her phone. “You don’t like it? Live with it. I didn’t open that store for you anyway.”

John broke into a smile. This young lady is getting meaner in conversations, but she seems to only do it to me. Oh well, I’ll just think of it as her special treatment for me.
