The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Turning around, John stood beside Sophia. “It’s unsafe for a girl to be out there alone.”

Pursing her lips, Sophia pondered for a moment before saying, “I have my own considerations, John. I need to go and handle some things.”

John gazed at her with solemnity etched on his face, his expression inexplicably conveying disappointment and abandonment. Thus, Sophia then explained, “I want to go back and visit my grandfather’s grave. The anniversary of his death has passed, yet I haven’t gone back to visit his grave. I’m the only person he has left, so I must make a trip back there.”

At this, John breathed a sigh of relief. “I’ll go with you.”

Pursing her lips, Sophia seemingly tittered. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine going back alone. We might need to put on a show for those who are alive, but I think you don’t need to do so for someone who’s deceased. There’s no such need.”

John frowned. “I’m not offering so that I’ll look good.”

Sophia hastily nodded. “I know, I know. You don’t need to say anything else, for I know what you meant. However, I want to go back alone. You’ve never been to our little village, so if you go, all the villagers would come over to take a gander at you. It’ll be difficult for me to introduce you, so will you please save me the trouble, John? I don’t want to kick up a fuss.”
